I dont know if anyone else has repeated this one or not.  I was at a DECUS
conference about 6 yrs ago when a system programmer was laughing about
programming a Dec machine to seek around on a disk drive enough to cause the
cabinet to rock.  Apparently this became some sort of a game, so that they
actually wrote programs to make the drive cabinet walk around the room to 
particular locations...
