Heh. In a similar vein, in June 1996 I spent a fun-filled week onsite at a New York insurance company overseeing testing of a custom program written by some Israeli contractors.
The project used five rented PCs. I get there and start setting up: one of the PCs won't connect to the network. It's a 3COM card, so I call 3COM, get their support. They have me pull the card, then take a pencil and draw a line between two marked points on the card. On reinsertion, it worked! "Great!" I said. "What did I just do?" "Changed it from an ISA card to an EISA card." That was pretty impressive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
