What I don't miss is the 'playing indoor roofer' when it rained. Basically that was run down to shipping and grab one of those big rolls of wrapping plastic and make 'tents' to keep the leaking roof from forcing a '48 hour confidence run' from making you kill it about 32 hours into the run!! Shipping would try to keep us out, but we were sneaky!! I worked on the 'water pumper' when it was there. It's main cpu circuit breaker had a fan to keep the 'small???' 70 amp, 3 phase 208 vac breaker from tripping!! Someone in DC test took a 1/8 welding rod and welded with one power supply and couldn't get the over current set low enough to trip!! No 'micro packs' installed at that point. Someone dropped a 1/4 screw driver onto the negative 3.3 vdc bus bar and you could bend what survived of it when it arc'd and spit metal out with your finger easily. Neither of those I did!! Honestly, but knew about. --- Mark Jarvis wrote: > Found on slashdot: > > Hardware: The 305 RAMAC — First Commercial Hard > Drive > Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday December 10, > @03:15PM > from the looking-back-for-perspective dept. > Data Storage > Captain DaFt writes "Snopes.com has an article that > gives an interesting > look back at the first commercial hard drive, the > IBM 350.

Just pass the written and "U's a ham"!! Many sites test online, but you have to go for the real test. $14 for as high as you can climb in one session. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
