Agreed - I wasn't actually including the vuw machine - even though that's 
what it may have looked like :) It's home machines with large uptimes are the 
ones which are probably more pointless unless they're doing a lot of 
different stuff :) The machine at work is our central file server and it 
tends to run a lot of samba processes concurrently ( = ~200 ... though that 
may be small compared to some places - it's a lot for one of our machines :) 
) so there's a lot of disk activity. Dunno if an NT box would be as reliable 
.. it'd certainly be more expensive :)
