Hmmm.... I remember a couple of incidents in the computer room, where
TU78's took up smoking, on one occaision prompting the system operator
to push the BIG RED BUTTON! Needless to say, a great time was had by
all (It's a bit of a long story)! FWIW, in the other incident, the op on
duty flipped the breaker, opened the back of the cabinet, and literally
BLEW the flames out (Yup, he got an award for that one....).

The correct URL is http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/pdp8. The root URL is a
searchable database on the Northridge California earthquake from January
1994. Not of much relevance to our hobby...
