	Subject:	Burial of an Old Friend, Welcome to the "new" Server

	I conducted a ceremonial burial of our old Histonet Server on
Friday, the 
	little PPC 6100/60 (8 year old) just could not keep up with the
demands 
	of the increase in the number of subscribers to Histonet.  This
machine 
	has run without interruption (other than network problems locally)
since 
	the Histonet list was started  and the server was just not able to
keep 
	up with the traffic.

	Welcome the new histonet server, a 4 year old PPC 5400/180.  This 
	computer is a veteran of another venue, the student labs here at UT 
	Southwestern.   It has been retired from that service but will now
serve 
	us for Histonet.

	In observing this new friend's performance over the weekend, it is
three 
	times faster than the old system.  We still have the distinction of
being 
	the largest outbound source of email on our campus, accounting for
30% of 
	all outbound traffic.  We now regularly send outbound 70,000 to
100,000 
	messages a day.

	Please let me know if you encounter any errors or problems with this
new 
	system by sending a quick note to hagler.herb@pathology.swmed.edu as
I am 
	subscribed to the digest mode of the server.

	Keep those emails coming.....

	Herb Hagler
