Before someone complains, JF, it was a joke; meant to show that anyone
can make any claim of uptime they want.  FreeBSD 6.1 was released in
2003.  4914 days of uptime is 13 years.  While no one here is likely
to believe it anyway, I have had servers that would have run for years
except I don't control the power and for a long time we had an annual
power shutdown here at the University limiting uptime to no more than
364 days.  I do not remember the last time I had an OS related failure.
Not on Unix, not on Windows and, of course, not on VMS.   I have had a
feew hardware related failures, which would kill a VMS system equally
well.  But the majority of my failures have been due to loss of comm-
ercial power that lasted longer than I have UPSes to support.
