Comment on What are your defining memories of computing in the old days?

A couple:

  1. CRC Errors when restoring 9-track tapes (the large reels) on a mini at work.

  2. A manager not knowing a removable 256meg Disk Pack suffered a heard crash. So he mounted it on 4 or 5 production drives, destroying the hardware. This caused almost a month of agony while we went looking for hardware to replace the drives. This caused manufacturing to slow down since inventory could not be ordered.

I can almost laugh now :)
