Re: And contrawise

One does have to wonder just how many millions of dollars worth of compute and storage have been sacrificed over the decades to the Dark Gods of Shipping; even if you plaster the damn things with shock-watch stickers, 'tip n tell' stickers, giant "FRAGILE" stickers, invariably some chucklehead drops it off the back of the truck, tips it over, and/or impales it with a forklift. (or in one memorable case, ALL THREE- thankfully, it was a router and didn't have any rotating storage on it, but still.. a 2 million dollar core router being treated like it was a chew toy for Clifford the Big Red Dog by the shipping company did not make the boss a happy guy.
