We’d been back from Germany less than a year when early one afternoon, our Sq CC stopped by the section and instructed Captain Mears to send me downstairs to talk with the SA’s and find out what was going on. eMail had been spotty and slow all morning, people were getting pissed, and 21Net administration was seeking outside help.
After poking around for a few minutes, I told the boss down there they needed to shut it down. He said “we can’t do that without the base commander’s permission!” I replied “OK, you can either do it and start the clean-up now, or wait and try to find out how long it takes to clean the entire 14 terbaytes in the NAS eMail store – your call.”
