What can I say? If we could give 99.99999999% uptime my phone would still
start buzzing with angry users when any of our systems is down for 1
minute. No matter how good your uptime is, downtime is still bad, and
reducing downtime is still good.

(Okay, I said "customer" and now I'm saying "user". I keep forgetting
that, these days, the person who approves the contracts and requests the
checks may be totally unacquainted with the person who actually uses the
equipment. :-P )

way about an increasing number of software products.  *sigh*
