or:

"The system was down for backups from 5am to 10am last Saturday."

or:

"The system will be down for 10 days for preventative maintenance."

or:

"During the next two hours, the system will be going up and down several
times, often with lin~po_~{po       ~poz~ppo\~{ o n~po_=07~{o[po  ~y oodsou=
>#w4k**n~po_=07~{ol;lkld;f;g;dd;po\~{o"

or my favorite:

"Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 Connection closed by remote host."
