I still remember being introduced to BB one day by the grizzled Academic Computing admin at SDSU back in '98 when I was working as a tech in one of the labs. He was was using it to monitor various University Computer Operations boxes, and I ended up writing a classic Mac OS scriptlet to report in the AppleShare IP servers we were responsible for too.
Been a promoter of BB, and then Henrik's re-implementation, at every ISP, managed server company, and production installation I've been at since. It's fast, simple, shows what admins care about, and hides what we don't.
Thanks for everything you've done! It's sad to see (and confirm) what Qwest did, but I'm glad you've been able to take it well.

What strikes me is the longevity of everyone here. Japheth the tech in '98... now the grizzed admin himself 14 years later.
Peace Brothers!
