I was told that while working on an 11/34A, one
fellow from DEC
Field Circus blew all the boards in the backplane when he removed
the memory - seems that he forgot to turn off the power!!
My favorite is a Field Circus CE arrives at site and while walking
through the room he picks a likely cab to lay his stuff on. Then
proceeds to ask where is this HSC thingie. Rumor has it the
manager of the site was seen escorting the CE out the door
with great vigor.

Well, I was NEVER that bad... but I had fun trying to find the 11/23
doing HASP spooling at ADR in the mid '80's... It was in a VT103 on top
of the VAX 11/780 I installed..
