RE: 740 - 12-way Trivia -- MIDRANGE-L

What are we doing?  Meaning what are we going to do in a week and a half to
the processor?  We're just switching to our D/R site to take this machine
offline, then having IBM come by and switch out the processor bank.  As far
as what the machine is doing, it's supporting about a million investors and
their associated websites.  Pretty amazing stuff.  =)  So will that
processor dying (if it actually happens) take the box down, or no?

What are you doing to the box.  I would ask the intended recipient of that 
box.  If it's IBM, they may not, or may care.  If's a broker, they will 
certainly care.
