Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you for the recs. Maybe I can buy one myself (the web designer does not have one, so I doubt they would give one to me)

flea's rule for work: NEVER buy stuff for yourself. I mean, seriously. If they do not want to shell out for it, YOU do not need to make up the difference yourself, unless you are making Big Bank (in which case they usually shell out for stuff anyway.)

You have me curious

So there has been no occasion to reboot for 5.5 years? OS? Hardware? What kind of server? (i.e. shared hard disk, database? )
