Actually, in Scott's defense, I found the same document already (some days

you notice a funny smell shut it down immediately. I kid you not.
My point is that if you listened to every dire warning on this list,
you'd never plug anything in and use it.
Warnings about this and that are tossed out regularly on this list,
along with the immediate counter-opinion that those warnings are
exaggerations that you needn't concern yourself with.
Given all the conflicting information and personal anecdotes that
people swear by ("turning on a VT100 will destructively read the
ROM") that others have not experienced, the conflicting warnings and
advice have lead me to the conclusion of just generally ignoring all
such warnings and advice from this list.

Check the
dates on your OLS PSUs - some of the early ones were
defective and could catch fire.
I love it when people toss out stuff like this without any specifics
(what dates?).
The way people constantly warn of this and that on this list makes
you afraid to plug anything in and ever turn it on, which is a waste.
