Get ready for TIm Schutte's rollicking new laff-riot, "The Saddest Christmas Ever!" His kids wanted sleds and a PlayStation, his wife had her eye on a new router, but what they got was USB sticks with customized Linux distros!
Hardly true. Recently I had to walk a fairly tech-savvy coworker through editing their grub file over the phone. The machine had XFCE and no editor other than vi. No bets taken on whether this took less than 25 minutes.
Not to be a pill, but you seem to be assuming that there could be no interruption of access at your colo. This is a reasonable but ultimately unwarranted assumption.
There was John Philip Sousa in 1906 warning that recording technology would destroy the US pastime of gathering around the piano to sing music ("What of the national throat? Will it not weaken? What of the national chest? Will it not shrink?").
When was the last time you gathered around the family piano to sing? And no, karaoke does not count as the modern equivalent.

Maybe yours don't.
The specific "piano" may not have been common, but the larger "gathering together (with or without instruments) to sing" was common.
