Honestly, I would have thought the hardware would have - its pretty old and has been running non-stop for over 2 years now.
On the other hand, its pretty amazing that the OS (Win 2k) hasn't had any crashes or lockups in that amount of time either.

Hmmm that uptime also says that you have never run any windows updates....
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

I thought we discussed this last year, but I guess that was at the thread at another forum. Anyhow, no, I do not run updates, but this machine is on its own segmented LAN without internet access and this is the only thing that it does, so there isn't really any security concerns or needs for updates.

We've had some pretty long times running here in the shop too. Being an internet provider we tend to have things on all the time. We have one box a customer colocates with us that runs NT 4.0 and it ran for 3 years without an issue. Unfortunately we had to turn it off when we moved shop just recently. It was an old compaq desktop and the hard drive is as loud as hell nowadays. I'm not even sure what he uses it for come to think of it...

Years ago I had a linux server I used at our shop for hosting MP3's, I had an uptime of about 500 days on it, and it didn't even have a UPS, it just sat down in the basement and we never had a power failure.

Thanks. Unfortunately this is about as far as it will make it. Its scheduled to be replaced in the next month or two with a bigger machine with more storage space.

I debated it. I honestly wonder when it would croak?
