There's a story in a book I once read where a computer system crashed every
morning around the same time. No one could figure it out. Finally, the head of
IS goes down to the computer room at the expected time. In walks a maintenance
man who comes in, opens the cabinet for the computer, and plugs a floor
polisher into a spare outlet in the cabinet. When the maintenance man activates
the polisher, boom, the system crashed.
When asked by his boss what the problem was, he told him it was a buffer
problem.

I used to have a Novell server that would mysteriously reboot every few days.
In my case, the server was on the same circuit as a laser printer, and both
were plugged into a Haworth cubicle outlet. Periodically, load was too much and
it would causes a server reboot. We brought in another circuit NOT on the
inadequate cubicle wiring system, and the problem went away.
