Just a random thought, that came up while I was thinking about my online banking habits. I use mijn.postbank.nl, and yesterday I read on this site that transactions will not be processed during weekends.
Come to think about it: why should our VLE (in our case TeleTOP) be available 24/7 and process transactions 24/7? Well, i can think of a reason. That is: this world is spinning around like hell, so everyone thinks that we need 24/7. But: it this really really necessary? I might be, but have you thought about the costs associated with it? Well, at our institution I am not aware of any real discussion on this issue, actually. I might be wrong...
