Once upon a time, while talking with a customer about a particular LA datacenter's fault tolerant features (you know, generators, UPS, HVAC, diverse fiber entrances, etc...), they very calmly asked me what procedures we had in place in the event that a major earthquake struck the southland and dropped LA into the ocean or otherwise put the city underwater. I told them very bluntly that if an earthquake of that magnitude were to hit LA, I would *not* be overly concerned with their servers/circuit/etc., assuming I was still breathing. They were quite taken aback. ;)
Evidently they took the term "fault tolerant" literally. (Sorry, couldn't resist) - SLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott L.
