Could have been worse, I suppose. After nearly 24 hours of down time,
(and several calls to the ISP hosting zone to find out WTF was going
on) we had visions of the power supply (or worse) being blown on the
server itself - and having to replace the server or parts thereof.

Still dunno what caused the 'power surge' they blamed it on exactly, and
of course the Hell Desk in question has not been forthcoming with any
further details. But I must admit that this is the first time in years
that it's been down for more than an hour or two, and that was usually
for 'planned maintenance'.
