April 14, 1998 - Hardware Upgrade

ONElist's growth continued unabated. We quickly had to begin the neverending cycle of hardware upgrades. The original ONElist box was a Pentium PC running Linux with 32 megs of memory. Laughable by today's standards.

Here's the announcement of our first hardware upgrade. With this downtime, we upgraded the memory to 64 megs.

Hello,

We will be upgrading some hardware on the ONElist server. The upgrade will occur tomorrow, Wednesday April 15, 1998, at 9AM Eastern Time and will last approximately 1 hour. A second upgrade will occur later that day, at Midnight Eastern Time, and will also last about an hour.

During these upgrades, the server will not be accessible. Any email will be queued up and sent when the server is back on-line.

Thanks,

The ONElist Team
