Hiding in plain site, if you have been following these, I'd be interested to know of any trends you are starting to pick up on...I know I's premature, but does it seem like more folks are reporting? Any changes in severity of reports?

Hokie - IMHO, and that is all it is: starting with the 1st, most posts were little, almost nothings, on the large scale. Most were very localized and limited in impact. A few notable exceptions: US intel satellite and the air traffic control system failures. But, as the days pass, the number, breadth, and depth of the errors APPEAR to be increasing. More and more people are being affected OR th failures are affecting larger areas, whole countries in some cases.

Go back to the link and explore the archives. Make your own informed choice as to what you think. Do not take my analysis for more than my own informed opinion.

I spent 12 years in government service ... many here would probably think my view as suspect ... :-)

Then again, maybe the fact that I was smart enough to get away - far, far away - is my saving grace ... eh?

LoL
