Re: Another squirrel strike
One winter Saturday afternoon in 1985 I was working for UCCEL (down at the datacenter) and RIGHT in the middle of upgrading our VSE platform to VSE/SP 2.1. A squirrel had crossed our two independent power feeds and knocked out ALL of the power in the building. We still had some 3330's and had to wait for the CE to come out to retract the r/w heads of the volumes. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Brock Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 8:47 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Another squirrel strike From the article Phil linked to: As a rather poignant footnote, the Jersey Journal notes that the Millars' house is fully decked out in anticipation of Halloween, complete with a tiny plastic tombstone on their front lawn.
