True story: I knew a guy who hated, Hated, HATED the 525x he was assigned
so much that he purposely shorted it (generated some smoke in the process),
and tripped the circuit that ran the rest of the small office in the
process. After a snarky comment about how these IBM workstations break
down after only 15 years, what ever happened to IBM quailty?, he finally
got a "modern" workstation.
