RE: Rép. : Too hot because it was too cold!

:-))

In my very early days in this profession, I spilled a cup of Coke into the
card reader on a S/3. When the CE showed up, he said "Kid, take off that
white shirt and necktie, cause you're gonna get dirty." He made me clean out
that card reader with a bottle of alcohol, a toothbrush and a rag.

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?
