logged into a clients' switch today and noted it's been running rather a long time uninterrupted:

[hostname deleted] uptime is 8 years, 9 weeks, 6 days, 2 hours, 20 minutes

System returned to ROM by power-on

System restarted at 11:56:44 NZST Wed Jun 13 2007

System image file is "flash:/c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-13.EA1.bin"


good work by whoever engineered the UPS I'd say...


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

That's a long time. I thought 3 months was a long time for one of my routers.

That was reporting uptime since last boot, right? I have a few pieces of kit that report both the uptime since last boot and complete accumulative runtime, and it has thrown me a few times before as to why the unit I just powered on had an 'uptime' of a few years already.

There are also a few tricks one can pull with some equipment to bump the up time with some equipment. I've known one system admin who did that just to make his department look better in the eyes of company management who were big on evaluating departments based on performance stats, and apparently were very happy as long as 'the good numbers got bigger'.

I acquired an expensive camera so I can hang out in forums, annoy wedding photographers during formals and look down on P&S users... all the while telling people it's the photographer, not the camera.

I'm guessing that's not a Windows box with an uptime of 8 years.
