I heard this story that an HP employee was on site developing software for
the employer where I worked back in the mid 80's.  He was ranting about
IBM systems and pounded his fist on top of a Series 64 calling an IBM
system a not-so-nice name.  At that same time, the power supply blew.

..and who said that computers don't have a mind of their own.....

And to the HP employee (now ex) who I have seen on this list from time to
time, I hope I got the story right.
