point out, at a non-disclosure on 3480's, that IBM had taken all the fun out of being a tape ape! >> Guess it's year end story time. Was working in Northern California and we had a little tumbler maybe 5.4 on the Richter in early eighties(pre-cartridge) and we get this call "all secure personnel to the tape vault"! Well our earthquake proof building had hopped enough to knock about 50,000 reels off the shelf and everybody that could read and bend over was put to work. Only took a few hours. We had looked at the automated tape library with collapsing shelves, but after one of the utility companies managed to squish a tape ape we decided to wait for cartridges....had to decline the ESP cause our security/OPS couldn't/wouldn't detect if somebody had a CART stuffed in their BVD's! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
