Naturally not, they'd be too busy limping around howling.
I DID THAT! I DID THAT! I successfully managed to crush Jeff Beoletto's
(One of my friends) toes with
a PDP-11/44. We were trying to move it sideways. BTW, his foot healed up
quite well. And he wasn't limping around, he was curled up in a little
ball on the floor, cussing a blue streak :) A week ago we were moving the
RA81, and I almost did it again...
Seeing how it was me that Dan managed to drop it I can agree to
the limping, and ironically enough it's the same foot that I had broken 3
times in the month before he crushed it. And just yesterday hauling a pc
down to our storagge office on the 5th floor I tripped and fell down the
steps and have just re-broken that very same ankle. Computers are
hazerdous to your health. =+)
