As a sysprog, I used to enjoy the occasional ring war when I had to work 3rd shift for maintenance. That ended, however, when I got a call at 3:15 on a Sunday morning because the system crashed, and they couldn't re-IPL due to I/O errors against the PLPA page dataset. So I drive in, to discover that the problem was a write-inhibit switch enabled on the 3350 that had the PLPA dataset, with a tape ring on floor behind the drive.... Needless to say, I got the operators to buy me dinner after I agreed to make up an IPL reason on my own.
