The Mainframe is Down
Thursday, December 31st, 2009Today UMS ITS shut down the mainframe. After many long hours of work by many people the time has come.
We thank Alvah and Peter for their dutiful and conscientious work and wish them the best in the new year.
Many thanks also go out to all of those who sat the long quiet hours of the night with only the drone of the machines to keep them company.
Tonight the mainframe sits in its final sleep alone.
May all have a Happy and Peaceful New Year.
