    Rough way to get a day off eh Greg lol! Just a note for everyone to remember though, it says 4 hrs for one and 20 minutes for the other, but in the world of BlackBerry that 4 hrs should work out to about 8 for the end users

    Fine with me so long as they finally implement redundancy this time.
