"One man's hole is another man's passage" (and that's as NSFW as we need to go!)
Sure, dust would be an issue eventually. I just meant that it's not like you can't run in that environment, like running your water-cooled 3090 with no water. We had third-party maintenance; maybe they just vacuumed everything monthly, dunno. The denouement of the body-on-the-roof is that the victim had been strangled with a plastic bag. Inside the plastic bag was a credit-card receipt with the killer's name on it.

Restricted access computer rooms usually have humidifiers to reduce dust and static electricity. Open up a desktop computer in an office and then tell dust bunnies are not a problem. >My point about the holes is that they opened a "secret" passage between >the floors You said hole, not passage. A hole is big enough for bus & tag cables. Passage is a whole different story. That's funny. >Then there was the time the cops found a body on the roof of the parking >garage: Sounds like you should have moved to better offices. Safer than in Germany, where they would occasionally evacuate the building because they would find another unexploded bomb. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
