... The cleaning crew was in. They decided to dust the disk drives. Remember the write disable switch on 3350s. Took 2 hours to realize what happened. ...
One day, a cleaner saw the CE access plug on a 3350 C/U, while the CE was using it. She told everybody about it. One night crew member thought it would be easier to plug the vacuum into that, rather the wall 20 feet away. No head crashes. But, no data either. Same shop, a few months later. We were getting thermal checks on a V7C. Couldn't figure it out. It always happened in mid-night shift. The CE decided to watch the environment. It turns out one of the rookie tape-hangers had noticed the heat coming out of the top of the (air-cooled) 470. He started using it to keep the large pizza, the shift ordered every night, warm. Amdahl processors didn't like the topside vents blocke in 1981. -teD (The secret to success is sincerity.
