Long ago (in a galaxy far, far away - L.A.) one of the programmers at corporate casually placed his coffee cup on top of the 370. For those that have never seen a 370 its top is (was) a grid to, I guess, help vent the heat.


Anyway, when told that he shouldn't put his cup there, he went to remove it, but instead knocked it over thus spilling the coffee into the 370. He was given five [5] minutes to pack his things and get the hell out of the building. This was confirmed by both our local company's treasurer, who was there at the time, and a short article in the WSJ.


So, take care, Rob. We would sorely miss your worldly and valuable contributions here.

So, setting a cup of coffee on top of the computer, like I routinely do to our 570, would be frowned upon?
