Original Commentary

It's possible to move data to new servers without anything going wrong. It's just that if nothing goes wrong, you don't even notice the move. Anyhow, Robert and Jane's schedules don't overlap much, so he gets a lot of time to himself, unfortunately - Terrence

Modern Commentary
There are better tools and, theoretically, they could just move the servers seamlessly. Tell everybody to close out their files by midnight, update the DNS, and users hardly notice that things have changed.

Sometimes I miss the chaos of it. The idea of wrestling with a difficult problem and winning.

But it's also nice when things Just Work - Terrence
