When I was working on cars, an extremely mischievous
cow-
orker put one of my large bulbs in my drop-light. But, we
I see...
called a truce before I got around to retaliation by
using
flash powder. (which is now hard to find!)
At the HPCC conference over the lst couple of days I was demonstrting
soem classic hardware (an HP9100B + HP9125A plotter on Saturday, an
HP9820 and HP9830, both with homebrew EPROM modules on Sunday). I told
the audience that I had no objections to my machines being photographed
using any equipment apart from flashpowder. I did not want MgO over
everyhtin...
And yes, my friends are exactly the sort of people to have a flashpan,
etc. Not that they would want ot damage old HP machines...
