	one way around that, is to get your personal "kung fu" up to par
with the situation, and have a working alternative ready for the
inevitable disaster.  You dont say "i could have a linux server up in 15
minutes."  You say "I have my replacement on the job." or "my failover
system took over immediately when the primary one failed."
	People like to run things on an error level.  i.e., everything
based upon failure.  They dont learn to not play with fire until
stop-drop-n-roll.
