Man I can talk.

So I get back and go to the Corporate all hands meeting down in Baltimore. About 1500 people or so, one of the speakers asked a couple of volunteers to get up on stage and tell a story about a big failure. So I got up, took the mike and told the story of when I was switching floppies on a production server and actually hit the power button instead

Oh gods.
Did you have a celphone or did you have to wait for someone to walk into the server room?

In 1988 we did not have pagers.

My boss Chris walked into the computer room after a bit (we were working on upgrades after all)
