The was exactly my experience today. I've never seen that hallway so full of people. Reminded me of LAX!

I might have missed it, but was GE not working as well?
Correct, nothing was working. When the systems came back up, the GE terminals were the first indication we had. With no one standing there doing anything to them, they just suddenly beeped, the screens flashed, and within two seconds, Boom! They were booted and ready for business. Even those that didn't have GE cheered!
