Still got all those hats, Scott? My personal best memory was of Mario. One morning after the mid-course MICSer I was summoned to the presence for the grave misdemeanour of insulting a customer's employer. I didn't know which customer it might be, and neither for some reason did Mario.
We went through the course list and I spotted it - a guy from StorageTek. "That's it, Mario. We were standing around the beer barrow and someone told me he'd been paying particular attention during my discussion of MICS backups because his databases were going on STC 8650 Double Densities. I cracked the standard joke about write-only storage." "Ah," said Mario, "serves the ******** right for making such ****! Go and finish the CIM component." And Friday afternoon in the canteen, when Mario sat on a table in front of the company and no subject was taboo. The "beer barrow" was a piano truck with a lare plastic bin on top. It was filled with cans of beer - or what passes for that commodity in the USA - and pushed under the icemaker's chute for an hour or two.
