Well, on our machine the three boxes were marked 'OCP'! -- Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org *lightning protection* - a w_tom conductor

The upstairs aircon burst a pipe and dropped several thousand gallons of cooling water all over our office. It wrecked a whole lot of screens, one or two PCs (Luckily most of us keep our PCs under the desks, and the desks acted as umbrellas), and somehow managed not to leak through the ceiling over the server room. It was the unique kit in the test lab that really scared us. We still lost a week's work, despite losing no critical systems. And a lot of desks! Andy |
