If you ever want to see a system operator with that "deer in the headlights" look. . . . NCR304 system(early 60's), using Ampex tape drives. Denny had just mounted a reel of tape, closed the door and was doing the "button dance" to complete *loading*, when the whole room went dead silent. This whole system operated with 3 phase 230VAC 400cycle that was produced by a motor generator in the air conditioner room, and just as he did the *button dance*, a diode in the exciter current control circuit died, ergo no

Attack geese are dangerous, but a stick or a kick to the head settles them right down. Used to walk through a flock of them twice a day when I lived in CT. The upside is goose dinner and no regrets.
