I'm just digging in to the computer failures. If I had a dollar for every time a "node" failed on the EMS network during the 3+ years I spent at FE, I would be a rich man. It was so bad that we joked that failure was the norm and that a working computer was some kind of abberation. :)

OMG, Jim, the entire sequence of events and their description in the first few pages following the summary are very detailed, and so absolutely believable. I picture myself sitting right there, witnessing this. Unfortunately, its easy to see how it happened. At least the beginning portion of it.
