Somethings one just misses

Its been a while, but sometimes there are people who come in and out of ones life. When you don't see them daily, one misses their presence, the benefits they brought to your life.

In cleaning out old archived emails, I came across one of those old emails to be deleted that made me chuckle, and I'll share.

Elyse,
Love how you start the email with Good Day....and then tell me how crappy your morning had been.

Anyway, In between meetings, I'm attempting to locate the keeper of the Service Contracts. I assume you have been up and running the rest of the day. I'll let you know as soon as I find something.

Good Day,

This morning devo received the following error:

FATAL: Parity Error on the motherboard
PANIC: Parity Error address unknown
Trying to dump 9120 pages to dumpdev hd (1/41) at block 0 9120 pages dump

This error forced a shutdown of the machine. Joe and I rebooted the machine and cleaned the filesystems as they were mounted. The machine appears to be functioning properly. Now I have concerns over what caused the error message and how severe is the error? Any error messages dealing with a motherboard normally give me heart palpitations. I was wondering if you could find the service contract number and the phone number to call for aid in distressing situations. We know the machine is supported by DEC. I would really like to find the root cause of this error message.

Thank you for your time,
Elyse
