Earl says he wrote back and told the person that I was very expensive and I had not worked with NetWare since 2003, but if they do not find anyone else to take the job they should give me a call. Earl was just 90 minutes away by train and got the gig. Said server was a Dell PowerEdge 1300 with 64MB of RAM and a 10GB IDE hard drive. I was told they ‘should’ be able to boot up but no one could remember why they had even bothered to get a ‘new’ server at all. Earl quickly found the problem, namely an ancient surge protector more than a decade beyond its warranty.
