RE: Stupid things we do...

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,

That reminds me of the time, at the same shop I previously mentioned, I
fired up an app that locked the system up ! I had been there about 3
days and there was that old game library on the S/38 and some of those
things did not play well :-) The "DP Manager" just smiled and said,
that's gotten everyone before...

In the middle of my "first three months" as a system operator for a S36
and
MAPICS (1987), I was happily navigating between spooled files and I saw
too many
"unneeded" report, based on the list of report types I had at that time.
Then,
I saw a humongous report and without hesitation I cancelled.  Two
minutes later,
the Payroll officer ran into the computer center, screaming like
crazy...

Then I said: Oops!

PD.  My first I.T. sin was forgiven but obviously not forgotten...
