Perhaps with the price of harware dropping at the rate it has
been, the TANDEM approach (duplicate processors, disk subsystems
which "mirror" the data, etc.) might be a reasonable method to
accomplish state saving.  I don't see this right away, but it
does provide another avenue to make sure that your desk doesn't
wind up 'disappearing' because of an electrical spike or a loose
cable.
