We've shown an uptime of over 4 MONTHS (I believe it was ~ 140 days).
Microsoft Xenix 2.3a (TRS-Xenix 1.3.2) at the time.  The only reason we've had
downtime is to upgrade from 1.3.2 up ultimately to 3.0.1 (Xenix 3.0), and
to format floppies since diskutil is, regrettably, standalone.

I post this not to show off, but to note that an uptime war between AT&T and
BSD is just a bit ridiculous.  I thought unix-wizards were more mature than
that.  (Or did this cross over from net.unix?  If so, send it back!)
