Well, this week the campus is closed up and all the employees have the
week off. Evidently, "gatech", our campus gateway machine, decided
that it should have the week off too. That's probably why it developed
a mysterious memory problem on the 23rd and went down.
Due to the nature of the problem and the fact that the computer
building is officially closed this week, it is entirely possible that
"gatech" will remain down until the 30th or beyond. We'll do what we
can to effect repairs before then, but the situation is not promising.
In the meantime, any urgent mail for anyone on a Georgia Tech machine
can be sent via "...!{akgua,seismo}!gt-stratus!machine" and it should
not be queued until "gatech" comes back online, but should be delivered
immediately (in most cases). Note, however, that most people on campus
won't be reading their mail until next week.
Urgent mail for "gatech!postmaster" can be mailed to
"gt-stratus!postmaster" for the same results.
Happy Holidays to all.

"gatech" is now back after a long winter's nap.
