Default Servers are like old people. . .

You tuck them up in bed when you go home for the night.

Sometimes they wake up in the morning, sometimes they dont.

A friend replied to my e-mail:



Hmmmm, I'd say our work servers are more like Uni Students?

They're up 24/7 but bitch about doing any work, and seem to go down several times a week...
