Ask your bank what the uptime on their mainframe is, with good chance, it'll be higher than anything else you've seen (unless power outage).

- chief167 7y agoAs someone who works in finance, I can tell you it's going to be less than a year. Although uncommon, those things sometimes reboot as part of maintenance. For example, we upgraded our COBOl compiler and all got an email that for like half an hour after midnight in a weekend the mainframe would be down for maintenance.

- ClumsyPilot 7y agoMy experience is literally that 1/3 of my logins result in "our system is down right now". Probably because I often want to check my account in the evening on a weekend.
