I've been wondering what the company paid for that.

Is John Cleese still running Media Arts, the Chicago-based production company that produces humorours training films for business?

"Video Arts", it looks like, but I don't see a website or any data after 1997 on a quick Google search.

Yes, well *my* company could have used that advise about three years ago. A 3 inch pipe burst in the NOC over the weekend, spraying everything and hosing 2 AS400's, racks of gear, etc. No problem, go to IBM disaster center for new AS400, and restore from tape from the two offsite backups.

What do you mean, the tape backup has been hosed since Thursday??? No problem, have someone fly the hard drives to IBM's data recovery center and get the data off...

For some things, there is MasterCard, but IBM's bill is bigger... (cost slightly under priceless)

And on the other gripping hand...
