Posted: 10.08.2001 This is not a drill - I repeat - this is not a drill!
I got the e-mail today that website owners housed on lousy servers dread just about as much as the general populous fears the Gerardo comeback album...
"Recently, we have begun to upgrade some of our customers to either new servers, or servers that have received software upgrades.....You are receiving this email message because your account has been selected to benefit from either a site-migration or server-software upgrade. This process is virtually seamless and invisible to you and your viewers. We do not anticipate any difficulties with the upgrade. However, before we begin the process on your account, it is important that you have backed up your web site files to a source other than ADDR.com's servers (i.e.: Your own hard drive.). This is merely a safety precaution as you should always maintain a complete backup of your web site content."
Everyone that believes this transition will be "virtually seamless", please raise your hand (and also see our real estate agent for a fine piece o' oceanfront property we've got for sale back in Oklahoma). If this website should vanish later this week faster than Cheesy Poofs at Eric Cartman's house -- please know we might be experiencing technical difficulties. All proper authorities have been notified, and operators are standing by! *beep*
Your version is much closer to the truth !!
