Bringing her down tomorrow. This system went online before I graduated high school. I get to take her home. 
So long to a valiant companion

Awesome!
Has it developed its own AI by now? Maybe you should ask it before you turn it off.

It has two Quantum *full-height* 5 1/4" 800MB SCSI drives. The bearing noise is _very_ apparent.
Damn, you shut that down and you're going to have to buy another furnace to supplement the current one

I get worried when I have to power cycle servers that are a decade newer than that machine; I can't imagine it'll take well to being powered down. Either way, it'd be a neat piece of kit to play with.
Nice job. She needs a rest. You need to disassemble it and take it to your place. Lay it all on the floor set up but not plugged in to all its parts. Then drink a lot of whiskey, while praising the history of that battle-hardened server.
Going to cut it short --
It really sounds like a car dragging its muffler now, and I'm ready to go home.
Will document the machine tomorrow. There's so much dust in the case you can't see *any* single component. It's like a bird's nest.
I would have kept it running but I was getting complaints about the noise.
Love the retro messages -- Connection terminated.

Aww shit.
Welp. Good job. Here comes Judgement Day.
I'll be in mybunk bunker, hoping SkyNet comes for me last.

Damn! I took out our last Netware server ~8 years ago. It too was running 3.12. It handled card access for the doors on property.
I normally hate uptime-contest threads, but damn. Just damn.
Goodnight, sweet prince.
Damn. I was still in middle school.

"The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line September 24, 1996. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 7:31 p.m. Eastern time, March 29, 2013. In a panic, Axatax tris to pull the plug. The Skynet missile defense system goes online December 14, 2026. Declares war on mankind and triggers a nuclear apocalypse two days later."
WHY does this make me so sad? Poor machine, running so faithfully, serving your every need. ::sniffle::

That server deserves to be chronicled. I wonder if it sang Daisy Bell as it powered down for the last time.
