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

Yeah, the N1 (alias Nancy-1). A friend of mine said his night operator's cat like to snooze on top of theirs, probably because it was warm. One night the N1 ran out of forms while the cat was resting there. George said he had a hell of a time explaining to the CE what the yellow stuff on the tape drive was the next day.

IIRC we had a printer on a Sys/3 that when it ran out of forms the lid would
auto open.  We burned that printer up a few times from "one" of us leaving
coffee/coke on top of it.......and it ran out of paper....

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?
