Another minor correction: Karanbir has written on the list that he was delayed by an HDD failure, so money is an issue IMHO. As a rural ISP 2 miles east of the middle of nowhere with a budget so tight we pinch nickels until they $hit $s, when an HDD fails, we hot swap it out of the RAID array and move on, typically within 5 minutes. True, we have 4 GB drives that have been spinning since 1997 (hello to Chuck Dahlem, head designer at Seagate in OKC), but that's what life is like in rural America.
