Bugger ive got say sorry to Virgin now  

What on earth did you do to warrant an apology to virgin/ntl? Blowing up all the call centres would get you a medal in my book...

Dont worry TB, we know youll sort it.
 I would love to have been a fly on the wall though... Dont paniiiiiic...! Cids, soldering irons, and dust flying everywhere...

TB - last week you made me feel a bit embarassed about my non functioning fan switch. (Only a bit, to be fair).

Well let me return the compliment.

I have here 2x500 meg matched DIMMs (233 MHz) that are yours for the asking,
And a Dell XPS 640 with 1 gig of RAM, 2 x 150 gig SATA HDs and a Nvidia RAID controller. (The b*stard fans in it are so agressive that it will keep your printer free of dust and dry Mrs TBs hair in short time too....  )

You are welcome to either or both if it helps.

Thanks for generous offer, but its crap disk controllers that I reckon are the root cause of the outages  

Current server spec is Core2 Quad 2.4G, 4Gb RAM, and a pair of 320Gb disks hanging off a really nasty RAID controller...

Ah, you too noticed all the dust on the printer in that photo I posted up

I 'power cycled' (its a VM, so not real power cycle) VM from downstairs based on the fact:

a) too lazy to walk upstairs
b) knew there was bits of NCDC and CID, along with ROVER 25 CLOCK/DISPLAY scattered across the server's keyboard

Like the crappy Dell PERC we had at work. Quietly went round corrupting bits of the volume without a murmur that anything was wrong.  

Keep meaning to dig it out of my junk drawer and "educate" it.
