It is an ideal habitat for field mice.! As the nights are getting cooler, the poor mice are seeking warmth and comfort. When they entered our warehouse (business name withheld to protect yours truly), they discovered a server machine running (mostly) 24 hrs/day 7 days/week in a VERY warm cupboard. I should add here that this exquisite piece of office furniture was designed by the Boss, after discarding 90% of my design suggestions.! I had left the cover off the computer box in a quick and dirty attempt, over our recent summer period, to rectify an overheat problem that had occurred within the "bowels" of the cupboard. I received a round of applause from said boss, at the time, particularly as my "fix" did not cost him anything. Now back to our hero. The poor "Mickey" entered the cover-less tower case and discovered a 2nd printer card had been plugged into the bottom motherboard ISA slot and that it was an easily accessible platform to jump onto. This was a lot better than being outside in the cold.! Unfortunately, mice are not very well house trained, and Mickey also mistook this same printer card for a toilet (Sans toilet seat, of course.) :) Later, we discovered that any print job sent to that particular attached printer, resulted in heaps of paper printed with garbage. It looked strangley like the patterns you occassionaly see printed on toilet paper. It literally gave us the shits trying to figure out what had gone wrong. :) I then received a round of criticism from said boss at this time, particularly as my previous "fix" has NOW has cost HIM $27.50 for a new printer card. Sigh. Sometimes you just can't win. The moral of the story is any one, or all, of the following:- Never let a Boss design anything, particularly if he is required to pay for it. Windows NT has at least ONE environmental function - as a toilet for mice. Some systems ARE made to piss on. Garbage in, garbage out. Yesterdays acclaim is todays condemnation. Windows NT can accomodate more than one mouse at a time. Is this, I wonder, SMP? Symmetric Mouse Processing.? Should we run a competition to see who can come up with the best idea here? I am open to suggestions. I hope this little bit of humor brightens up your day as much as it did mine.
