I just had a horrible realization... I looked at the affected Supermicro product numbers and was able to decode them in my head. Do have any idea what that means?

It means I need to step away from the computer, take a vacation, take a hike, see nature in all its beauty. Because, not even two years ago, they were a complete mystery.

Cheers,
Matt
