Jim’s Daily Rant. Are We Seeing the Black Sky Event?

30 years ago when I was working on me Masters in Computer Science, I learned that the Airline Reservation / control software was so old and no programmers understood it. Therefore, all were afraid to modernize it out of fear of failure.

I now hear that the Weather Radar for the US is down, some banks are down and now I am told that Amtrak is down too.

Is it possible that this is the Black Sky event we were warned to prepare for a week ago?

Is this major software being upgraded and uploaded to a new Internet hosted on Star-Link?

If so, will it be down for several days?
