I had no idea that we were so lucky...

We got a new 280R (dual 750s) in March of 2002.  Put it up as our
primary mail/web/ftp server for work.  Replaced it in August of this
year (with a x2100).  In 4.5 years, no problems or service, rebooted
it only a handful of times...

We're now using it as an internal test machine.

Clean living, I suppose ;)
