There was a building maintenance man in the machine room. When he went to leave instead of pressing the button to activate the door to the mantrap, he pressed the emergency power down switch. They were very close together. It took us the better part of a day to get everything back up. The processor was no problem, but a few disk drives were troublesome. That incident resulted in them moving the emergency power down switch away from the door switch, and a cover was put over the emergency power down switch. > > > > > > We called it a 'Sheldon shield' after an operator hit the IML button on > the old 3033 console keyboard several times unexpectedly. > > <snip> > > --
I know during life brain cells only die and no new ones are generated and I also know that this goes faster in some brains than in others and this possibly might be the reason that I often get tired of trying to find the correct path through the many ONtopic and OFFtopic branches that threads in this forum often take, but I would appreciate if branches to paths that might bring up very interesting side-subjects but do not help the OP in getting an answer to his question were reflected with a change of subject.
