He was appropriately awed at the size of the 11/84, the RA60, and the
drive packs, and interested as hell watching me load the pack and start
the machine.
When the RA60 started spooling up he started looking at it sort of
funny (they wind up like a jet turbine if you never heard one). When
the heads unlocked, he made the other end of the garage in one jump. :-)

4. While doing laundry, you occassionaly have a mental lapse and try to
wash your socks and underwear in your 11/750.
I'd think this is more of a danger with the RM05 or RP06, if you happen
to have one located too close to your laundry area.
So has anybody come across any plausible stories about having to clean
washing detergent out of free-standing pack-based disk drives?
