A fine morning to arrive at work to find out that power was off to our building sometime during the night. Not a problem unless you are running a business that relies on computers to be running 24-7. Yep, the entire system was down. It takes about 20 minutes to get it up from a cold start.

"Why," you might ask, "does it take that long to bring 12 machines running various versions of M$ operating systems?"

Because they must come up in a particular order to properly engage the networking and cause the mounted network drives to function. There are two machines that must be started early in the process then rebooted late in the process. Isn't that special.
