Favorite Head Crash | reply somewhat Off Topic

< of humorous stories of misadventures involving classic equipment.. < At DEC, we had loads of them.. Hey Allison, I bet you've got a few! I didn't live in the field so they are few. The best ones I can't repeat as they can from product safety. Suffice to say that the words it can hurt you are about as meaningfull to a three year old as some field engineers. Though the woman that wanted a lead vest to work on a laser printer due to "radiation" was always a good laugh. My favorite, was CSSE support room with mostly dead out of rev systems. Of course we had the best (cheap management) so our 11/70 had three RM03s two in use... the third for backup. Why? It had a bad spindle bearing as was too loud to use continuosly! I supported the roll out of the LPS40 40ppm network laser printer. We had a site in utah that had a printing defect and I was sent to see what the story was. Never got to see it... the night I arrive the building had a water main burst on the top floor causing a collapse to the floor below it crushing the printer. The MicroVAXII in the bottom was unscathed! I remember warstories and a few other sites... ;) Allison
