What were you doing when the lights went out in August 2003?

That will be question asked in the future, as a part of our national memory. There are other benchmarks people can recall.

1941- Pearl Harbor

1945- the President died. For many he was THE President, Franklin Deleno Roosevelt

1963- Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

1968- Assassination of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King

1977- Power blackout followed by looting and lawlessness

2001- Terrorist attack on 9/11

So put August 14, 2003 at 4:21 PM in your memory bank.

Closer to www.seniordoc.org home,there was no disruption of service because of the secure locations of our servers. No problems for PatientWire users either. Computer servers are housed in airtight facilities with generators, designed to withstand all natural disasters.

That is why, although telephone and cell phone service was disrupted, Internet commerce continued.
