Which reminds me of the time I strolled into work at 5:00 AM and found the system adminstrator with her head down in tears on the keyboard and a front office executive standing over her. A system admin might just, possibly, be in at 5:00 AM, but a front office type, never. Seems she installed an update to the Solaris operating system on one unit, and did some “tests”, decided that everything worked OK and proceeded to install it on the other. As rosy fingered dawn broke over Ontario, the high bay became crowded with engineers and programmers who were “on the clock” with nothing to do but cheer good old Stella on.

Is it just me or did you leave some sentences out of this story?

I feel your pain, pal.
I owned nine computer systems in my Corporation before those PEOPLE talked me into buying one of these evil things ...

It's been a long road, bud, but I made some good friends
