Summary:More disks bite the dust. 



Well, back a few years ago on a work term in Victoria, B.C., A friend of
mine who was spending his work term at BC Systems told me about what an operator
had done one day.  It seems that the machines were normally shut down in the
wee hours of the night and brought back up by the first shift of operators
who came in in the morning.  One morning the operators were not to boot up
the system until after some maintenance work was to be done on the drives.
The operator who was on that shift that morning hovever had somehow
forgotten about the scheduled maintenance and tried to boot the system.
It seems he lost his job over the ruined disks.
