Larry,
We actually have two "servers". One is our Windows server with the domains, internet etc and the other I call our AC server (running Windows Server 2012). The windows server did not go down, it was the PC that has AC that went down so fortunately we still were able to access the internet, our email etc.
When we started budgeting for PC's in the office, I thought it would be a good idea to have a computer that only has Amazing Charts on it, nothing else. Thought this way I wouldn't have to worry about any other software causing problems/conflicts.
We did have the main server go down once and we were without internet for about 4 days, it was not pretty
