Damn that's allot,
no wonder I was having these timeouts.
i.g. system streams fine for 10 hours.
then the next day a timeout after 2 hours due
to microwave use.
Thanks for pointing that blog out.
that opened my eyes up to how powerful
a microwave is. makes me wonder if that
grade in the window actually does what is supposed to.
(block gamma rays or whatever the dangerous wave is);
