I hope this isn't the beginning of another epidemic.  One of my clients
just had a SCSI disc fail last Thursday night.  (Halloween; maybe it was
goblins!)  I don't have any details on the drive.  It was on the development
computer, not one of the production machines.  It was not on the
<long name> volume set, it was on the set which holds all the source
code for production programs.  It failed near the beginning of backup, so
we ended up losing a whole day.  The good news is that most of the MIS
department was at a class that day, so not much happened anyway.
The bad news is that your friendly neighborhood consultant was working
that day.  Well, not so bad; just before I logged off, I downloaded some of
the source code I was working on to my PC, so I could print new listings.
:^)    (How do you make a really big grin?)
