I'm unable to come up with any reference to a 3 day outage regarding Oracle and Ebay in 1999. Can you provide more info on this - I'm very interested to see what happened.
Edit: I found this reference to the 22hr outage that occurred, and I remember this outage, but I don't ever remember it being a 3 days outage.

- sabat 16y agoI remember it being 3 days. Could be faulty memory.
- sabat 16y agoHere's a link to a Forbes article about it. You're right: my memory was distorted. The outage was only 22 hours. (I'm sure it felt like three days to the Ebay admins at the time.) Fun fact: the "Steve Abatangle" quoted in the article is yours truly, and the author of the piece is Dan Lyons, now AKA Fake Steve Jobs. http://www.forbes.com/forbes/1999/0726/6402238a.html http://www.forbes.com/forbes/1999/0726/6402238a.html
