        We have a network of oldy DEC Alphas and here are some
uptime's:
11:40  up 15 days, 16:10,  1 user,  load average: 0.69, 0.16, 0.08
11:44  up 9 days,  1:30,  1 user,  load average: 0.09, 0.05, 0.02
11:41  up 104 days, 23:24,  1 user,  load average: 0.24, 0.11, 0.06
11:41  up 8 days, 19:31,  1 user,  load average: 0.34, 0.09, 0.04
11:39  up 8 days, 19:31,  2 users,  load average: 0.05, 0.03, 0.01
11:40  up 22 days,  2:25,  5 users,  load average: 1.02, 1.08, 1.05
11:41  up 22 days,  2:35,  12 users,  load average: 2.19, 2.06, 2.14

        Reboots had to be made for software update reasons only. These
are extremely stable machines, even with heavy utilization.
