    The crazy thing is your lab probably didn't even feel the Slashdot effect... It's good to have a big pipe! (as it relates to data transfer... NO SNICKERING!!!!)

    One time me and -tk were talking about what the "OC" stood for... I think it was around the time we put our servers on the OC48 here..... We came to the conclusion that OC stands for "OH CRAP that's fast"..... :D
