                          Waiting … waiting … waiting
                                        
“Are you on the way back to Boca Raton [1]?” asked Smirk. 

“Not yet. Why?” 

“Well, can you stop by The Data Center on the way home? There's a box there
that needs rebooting.” 

“Okay,” I said and hung up. 

So that's how I found myself standing in The Data Center at 11:45pm waiting
for a recalcitrant box to finish running fsck. It may be a fast box, but the
drives are either ridiculously huge, ludicrously slow, or both. 

Sigh. 

And there's only so much web browsing one can do at the command line.
