No worries... I've broken the Internet enough times that it just doesn't worry me anymore.

It's funny... but *cough* several years ago (maybe about 1995 or 96... something like that) there was a couple of days when the whole Internet broke. There was a major foulup on the root-servers down at Network Solutions one night. Basically it meant that every single DNS server on the whole Internet had to be completely flushed and rebuilt.

It was a gas. The whole Internet was down for about 24 hours until about half of it came back. It took another 24 to get another quarter of it back... and about a week to recover fully.

What fun... This was well before pretty much every business had an internet presence. I can't even imagine the impact of doing that today. [sigh] Pretty much all the time we're only a few keystrokes away from disaster...
