From "Abend", _Network World_, April 17, 1995.

  Yesterday I got a call from one of the user departments:  "Our
  printer's not working."  All our printers hang off Lantronix
  Network print servers so they can be accessed from PCs, Suns,
  IBM RS/6000s, Vaxen and whatever.  I went up to the user
  department and found that not only is the Lantronix powered
  off, but the power supply is actually missing.  I asked the
  user, "What happened to the power supply?"  The person replied,
  "Oh, you means that black box?"  "Um, yes," I said.  And the
  reply?  "We thought it was untidy, so we unplugged it and
  put it in a cupboard."  Sigh.

  Friday, we had a tornado drill.  We're underneath a parking
  garage (funny how corporations just love putting the nerds
  in a basement), and there's a PA announcement repeating itself
  ad nauseum: "This is a tornado drill.  Please move quickly
  away from any and all windows."  Somebody yelled out: "Quick,
  get to a DOS prompt!"
