Unless I've missed it - has the actual problem been identified? Other than "a techinical failure"; "a system crash" etc., caused by additional workstations being turned on during a period of high taffic..... and the mysterious faulty data code line.
I for one, am utterly dismayed that one line of code can shut down the entire system. I feel that information readily available to some is being deliberately kept close for "security reasons" - read: butt protection.
I had an "in" to a fairly high level of NATS a few years ago, the chap I knew was very sincerely and totally committed but nice guy as he was - he wouldn't have been my first choice of a manager for a large wiring installation - yet this was part of his remit ....... after the previous guy had apparantly disappeared in almost Nick Leeson fashion and surprise, surprise, leaving behind a simiar disaster and a rumoured complete recable to resolve.
Standing by for the flak.
