HI Scott

Way, way back the computer operations manager before me had been given a
project to implement a UPS and generator set-up so that when the power went
out the generator kicked in.

Being a kind of self-promoting guy he decided he wanted to give the CEO and
the CFO an actual demonstration of where the capital had gone so he called
them into the computer room to demonstrate how the UPS and generator would
work to keep the computer system operational during a power failure. For
maximum effect he did at the peak business volume time of day.

While the two executives looked on, he pressed the big red "emergency power
off" switch and then stood back with a "ta-dah!" look on his face - which
rapidly changed to one of panic as the machine simply shut down with a kind
of "whoomf" in front of the two most important guys in our division and the
computer room went silent.

As Sales Clerks and Sales managers started to run around the office and
people began looking at the computer room and gesticulating wildly, the
executives silently walked back to their offices to leave him to deal with
the chaos.

Regards
Evan Harris
