The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated (Mark Twain).

I'm alive. I've been out of town for the past 16 days, and naturally there was a power failure while I was gone. I will reconfigure the server to reboot after power loss (assuming the bios on that machine has that option) when I get a chance. My other tower suffered a cpu meltdown during the same power outage. The Rosewill UPS's that I use supposedly have spike protection, but I'm guessing it ain't very good. So ... I may have to move the servers to my laptop until I get the fried cpu replaced. Players shouldn't notice any difference, the laptop cpu is faster.
