Re: Just move some disks...

I've seen something similar happen on an ICL2900 mainframe many, many moons ago. Guy managed to catch a reboot switch with the cuff of his suit jacket while moving a terminal around. 3 days it took to get the server back up!

I never wore a suit jacket or had my sleeves down in a machine room after that.

I remember it like it happened yesterday - but that was over 35 years ago. I feel *old*!
