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? Thanks.

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

discussing this issue with a friend whose less than clueful site admins are taking the whole institution down for the weekend. your explanation that they would just prefer to deal with it monday during 9-5 makes sense. but that means that those of us who feel responsible may have to deal with it for three days while the <bleep>s bring their sites back online one by one. randy
We disconnected the Cornell campus but kept our DMZ net connected, so we could get and send mail and news in a contained environment. ...Scott At 15:50 11/21/1999 -0800, Sean Donelan wrote:
