Our standard joke was that the way you could tell a
DEC CE with a flat
tire was that he had to change all four before he found the problem.
Conversely, at BOCES LIRICS in Dix Hills, NY, we had a field-service
tech who seemed to know every single wire wrap in the PDP-10's. First
the KA10 they had before I got there (but worked on in high school), and
then the KS10's.
Maybe the VAX/PDP-11 crew were different :)
On the other hand, he left in his desk a complete list of KLINIK line
phone numbers (modems connected in parallel with the CTY), and
PASSWORDS, to just about every PDP-10 in the tri-state area (NY/NJ/CT).
