You looking at my desk?

Ditto, my linux box's year and a half record uptime was recently broken when we had power work in the building. It wasn't on maintained power and I'd have to switch it off to transfer it to a UPS. Bugger, 20-odd days and counting now.

Our student radio web site is run on a windows box with tells you its uptime every time you ftp into it. I've never seen it up for more than a week, now that's shocking (pardon the pun).

I store everything document wise in my documents this means when I flatten the windows box i simply transfer the documents and settings folder and the machine has everything, favorites, emails, etc (minus the applications)
