<p class=MsoNormal>We also have financial problems in local government and have
a bridge to sell – unfortunately ours does not lift up, but on the plus
side it is high enough above the water for most boats to fit under. It will be
put on eBay soon, but for now here is a picture:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Yes. The crashes seem to be very clustered. We have had 5
specific<br>
machines out of 23 crash repeatedly. We swapped the motherboard+cpus<br>
on those and they do not seem to have crashed again as yet. But the<br>
time scale is only about 2 weeks. So I am not very confident of the<br>
statistical significance of my conclusions.<o:p></o:p></p>
