Oh Brother
Saturday, September 27th, 2008My brother is an organic farmer here in the southwestern United States. He is part of a group of farmers who work through a fruit broker that helps the farmers sell their produce. One would think that working the earth and being kind of low key would be insulation against having problems with computers or any associated technology. Boy was I wrong. The fruit broker was a mere pawn in a line of other middlemen whose exchange server had major problems which affected the whole bunch. Exchange recovery people were called in and the problem was fixed. It did take a couple of days; however those two days were hard on everyone.
