FYI in case anyone else couldn't get to it from their browser, this was the case of the Grand Forks Herald newspaper in Grand Forks, North Dakota, that won the Pulitzer for covering the great flood and accompanying downtown fire in April 1997 that flooded most of the town and burned out several blocks in the business core (the paper's office was in one of the buildings that burned). The story talks about how the Herald apparently moved its HP 3000 to an employee's garage just outside the flood zone; hooked it up to some kind of off-the-shelf generator; and ran it there for the duration. SIDEBAR DISCLOSURE: I'm very familiar with Grand Forks, ND: I went to NDSU in Fargo 75 miles south of there; my cousin went to UND in Grand Forks; other relatives still live there (their basement got flooded but the water didn't quite reach the first floor of their house). Basically ~50,000 people on both sides of the Red River had to pick up and go elsewhere during the flood; they're still putting the town back together...... what they really need to do is move the whole town; one of these years they'll be flooded out again... ... And; yeah; seems like some smart marketing person might be able to make something of this: "Through fire and flood, HP 3000 helps put out the news and win a Pulitzer".... but I'm not in marketing, so somebody else will have to do it..
