That reminds me of a story I read, I think in one of Andy Tanenbaum's
operating system books.  As I recall, he labeled it as "probably
apocryphal".  It seems that, some decades ago, a mainframe at MIT was
to be decommissioned.  As the sysadmins were shutting things down,
suddenly a student job popped up and started to run.  It had been
submitted years before, but at such a low priority that it had not
been able to run until then.

As I said, of dubious veracity and even more dubious application to
the current situation. :-)
