Summary: Re: Computer Horror Stories

Not really a horror but...

Try this on VMS (yaaachk) version 4.1:

1.  Mount RA60 pack
2.  Open a file on the pack (keep opened)
3.  Dismount the pack from another terminal
4.  Try to mount another pack:  VMS will tell you "Cannot mount... 
    ... drive already mounted..."
5.  So you try to dismount, right?  Wrong! VMS says "no drive mounted..."
6.  Call DEC service

Depends on your attitude towards life as to how you classify the result of
step 6.  Horror story or great joke.
