[afnog] thanks NSRC - Re: consignee details:- Re: supplier for Sun Ultra 1 workstation power supply

[Dr Paulos Nyirenda]

All,

I would like to thank Steven G. Huter and the folks at NSRC for coming to our rescue 
when we lost a power supply for our Sun Ultra 1 machine. We received the power 
supply today via DHL and we have brought up the old machine, managed to back up the 
latest data and to continue our AAA services more securely. Thanks guys and keep it 
up.

Although this Sun Ultra 1 machine has been reliably up since 1999 and running 
literaly 24/7 running our AAA services, it now seems like it is time to move on to a 
more current platform and we are seriously considering moving to an Intel platform. 
We may therefore come back to this Afnog community to discuss any issues that may 
arise or share lessons.

Regards,

Paulos
