What's an upgrape?

Back on October 14, 2006, the Voice over IP telephone service Sunrocket announced on their web site that they were planning a "system upgrape." Well, geeks have a notoriously low sense of humor. A whole discussion ensued as to the nature of an upgrape on the Sunrocket board at Broadband Reports. Unfortunately for Sunrocket customers, there was a major, nationwide outage the next day. The Broadband Reports posters, of course, blamed the "upgrape."

Ever since, it's been a bit of a running joke, both at Broadband Reports and at the Sunrocket Forum: every time there is a problem, someone wonders whether Sunrocket is performing another "upgrape."

So, a definition:

upgrape (n., high-tech slang). An equipment or software upgrade that goes sour, by causing a system failure or other undesirable side-effects.
