HV stuff on the bench (for Homer's safety).
I once powered up an IBM 7013-550 - the old deskside PowerServer - and
watched Rascal, my 7-year-old hellbitch, spring out of the box. As near
as I could tell, she was sitting on the SCSI adapter when I turned it
on. Both she & the RS/6000 were unharmed until I caught her.
I think she likes the fan vibes from the older boxen. She'll lay up
against the case if she can.
By the way, most excellent mailing list. I dunno what took me so long.
See ya later,
