aloha, y'all!

just in case any of you were planning on accessing VICUG-L's hyperarchives over
the holidays, here's an outage notice from the technical administrator of
MAELSTROM (the server at Saint John's University, which hosts VICUG-L)

Date:         Wed, 22 Dec 1999 17:03:56 -0500
From: Paul Karagianis <[log in to unmask]>
Subject:      ADMIN: Y2K Outage update.
To: Owners of lists on MAELSTROM  <[log in to unmask]>

This posting is on the ADMIN topic, please be careful with replies.

(All times are local, -5 hours GMT).  SJU is now closed for Christmas
break and will re-open on Monday the 3rd, 2000.  We have various projects
underway that are subject to conflicting interpretation as to their
impact on Maelstrom.  The possibility of minor outages starts around
noon on December 28th and extends through the 1st.

The first known major outage will occur after 18:00 on the 30th and
could last until 06:00 on the 31st and involves installation of a
diesel driven backup generator for the entire machine room.
