Outage after outage Ebay keeps telling users that they are
"taking steps" to prevent from going down.
And it keeps happening.

Although expensive, at some point I hope they realize that they
must have very serious underlying architectural problems to have
so many outages.

Their choice of NT and Oracle for one I think may be part of the
problem.
They also have Solaris somewhere in the mix, but this doesn't
seem to have anything to do with their problems. :-)

Another reason to move more of my auction business to FreeBSD
based Yahoo. :-)
Actually I like their interface better anyway.. And with all
these problems at Ebay I think the other auction sites are
probably getting more business.
