My story isn't as bad as it could have been. I worked for a county government. The Computer room was in the basement of the Court House. At the time, we were running a System 38. In this same room, all of the plumbing for a 200 year old building converged over our heads. I often thought of what would happen if one of those 12" lines let loose.
 
Oh yea. As I remember it we had the 38, 4 3370 disk drive units, the big tape drive ( I can't remember the model number), 2 line printers and 4 people. Not to mention the entire tape library. So much for offsite storage. This was in a 20'x20' room.
