Folks,

Thanks so much for all the suggestions, replies and offers. I spoke with the Chief this evening and he gave me the "go ahead" to have our IT company remote in and look at it.

When they did so, they were confident they could buy us a little more time and deleted Patch uninstalls, Veritas Catalogs (whatever those are) and
\\*\*\*\*\Deleted Items

\\*\*\*\*\Junk E-mail

\\*\*\*\*\Journal

\\*\*\*\*\Sync Issues
(quoted from their email)

However, they hit me with yet more bad news. This particular server is about 5 years old and they believe IBM will not allow us to buy another year of the service contract. Basically, it goes, we need to buy a new server. Now the problem comes finding money to replace this server to the tune of $15k (we looked into replacement but did not have the money) Not sure how we're going to swing this one Going to start researching any grants out there for this or try to hit the town up for money (that should go well)

Just when you thing you dodged a bullet, it swings around like a boomerang and bites you in the backside

I told the Chief about this thread and he was thankful for all the insight!

Hope everyone survives this storm! I'll keep you all updated
