I can also get things re-set up here, if you like.

My machine is pretty much a paperweight at this point, it looks like. There was
a massive power outage here Saturday morning (of the "take out half the town"
variety), and my best guess is that the UPS decided to do some weird power
surge thing with its dying breath. There were two casualties here -- my
machine, and the machine on which we store most of the backups. UPSes and RAID
and backups can only do so much good... I suppose this is what I get for not
including my personal stuff in the tape backups.

The hard drives appear to spin up, so there's a chance they still have all my
precious data somewhere. Retrieving it could be tricky, as I don't have any
other Sun Ultra boxes around to play with, so I don't presently have anything
else into which I can put said hard drives to test them out. (Anyone have an
old Sun Ultra workstation they're not using? :-)

I humbly apologize for first almost-killing B Nomic a couple years back through
administrative malfeasance, and now almost-killing it again.
