I guess that I will have to tell the NT servers I have had running non stop
since New Years that they can't still be running.  The only reason they were
shut down then was as part of a corporate Y2K precaution.

Heheh....even if you _could_, you can't.  Microsoft Knowledge Base
article Q216641 points out that after 49.7 days of continuous operation,
your Windows box can spontaneously hang.  I've always found it amusing
that it took so long to notice this bug.  I assume it's fixed in W2k.
