Server 54, Where Are You?*

The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that time.

Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the server. Working with Novell, IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

   a thunk it? A web search on the show's title in quotes yielded nearly four thousand
   hits and uncovered dozens of web pages dedicated to the show. Most hits link one
