and what's more fun, when they come back up on jan 3 or whatever, they will have whatever y2k problems then.
I recall after the Morris worm hit the Internet, reading a report sites which unplugged their ARPANET connection were down longer than sites which remain connected and got repair information over the net.
Does anyone else remember that, and knows a citation for the report (or news story) I'm recalling?
you are correct. the only reason i remember is because shortly after that happened, i did a tech writing paper on worms/viruses for a college course. i interviewed several of the admins on campus (kansas state) and read some of the reports/emails they received from around the net. i doubt i still have my writing and suporting materials but i'll look around and if i find anything i'll send it to you. -brett
