Face it Tony, someone is always going to be doing it. Don't tell me
that you've *never* done it. :^) Sometimes it's easy to forget in
the excitement of a new system.
Actually how about a clarification here. Are you saying *ALWAYS*
test the PS before turning the system? Or just when it's been idle
for a while? I do know when the time comes for me to power my
PDP-11/44 back on, I'll be testing the PS first (I've not been able
to use it for over 6 years).
