- Sh**!
- What the h***?!?
- Time to get your backup tape. (You DO have a backup tape?)
- That's SOOOOO bizarre.
- Wow!! Look at this...
- Hey!! The Suns don't do this.
- Terminated?!?
- What software license?
- Well, it's doing SOMETHING...
- Wow...that seemed fast...
- I got a better job at Lockheed...
- Management says...
- Sorry, the new equipment didn't get budgeted.
- What do you mean that wasn't a copy?
- It didn't do that a minute ago...
- Where's the GUI on this thing?
- D***, and I just bought that Coke...
- Where's the DIR command?
- The drive ate the tape but that's OK, I brought my screwdriver.
- I cleaned up the root partition and now there's LOTS of free space.
- What's this "any" key I'm supposed to press?
- Do you smell something?
- What's that grinding sound?
- I have never seen it do THAT before...
- I don't think it should be doing that...
- I remember the last time I saw it do that...
- You might as well all go home early today...
- My leave starts tomorrow.
- Oops! (said in a quiet, almost surprised voice)
- Hmm, maybe if I do this...
- Why is my "rm *.o" taking so long?"
- Hmmm, curious...
- Well, MY files were backed up.
- What do you mean you needed that directory?
- What do you mean /home was on that disk? I umounted it!
- Do you really need your home directory to do any work?
- Oracle will be down until 8pm, but you can come back in and finish your
work when it comes up tonight.
- I didn't think anybody would be doing any work at 2am, so I killed your
job.
- Yes, I chowned all the files to belong to pvcs. Is that a problem to
you?
- We're standardizing on AIX.
- Wonder what THIS command does?
- What did you say your (1)user name was...? ;-)
- You did WHAT to the floppy???
- Sorry, we deleted that package last week.
- NO!!! Not THAT button!!!
- Uh huh....."nu -k $USER".....no problem....sure thing...
- [looks at workstation] "Say, what version of DOS is this thing
running?"
- YEEEHAA!!! What a CRASH!!!
- What do you mean that could take down the whole network?
- What's this switch for anyways?
- Tell me again what that '-r' option to rm does...
- Say, what does "Superblock Error" mean, anyhow?
- If I know it wasn't going to work, I would have tested it sooner.
- Was that YOUR directory?
- System coming down in 0 minutes...
- The backup procedure works fine, but the restore is tricky!
- Hey Fred, did you save that posting about restoring filesystems with vi
and a toothpick? More importantly, did you print it out?
- OH, SH**!!! (as they scrabble at the keyboard for ^C).
- The sprinkler system isn't supposed to leak is it?
- It is only a minor upgrade, the system should be back up in a few
hours. (This said on a Monday afternoon.)
- I think we can plug just one more thing in to this outlet strip without
tripping the breaker.

- I found this rabbit program that is supposed to test system performance
and I have it running now.
- Ummm....Didn't you say you turned it off?
- The network's down, but we're working on it. Come back after dinner.
(Usually said at 2200 the night before thesis deadline.)
- Oops! Save your work, everyone! FAST!!!
- Boy, it's a lot easier when you know what you're doing.
- I hate it when that happens.
- And what does it mean 'rm: .o: No such file or directory'?
- Why did it say '/bin/rm: not found'?
- Nobody was using that file /vmunix, were they?
- You can do this patch with the system up...
- What happens to a hard disk when you drop it?
- The only copy of Norton Utilities was on THAT disk???
- Well, I've got a backup, but the only copy of the restore program was
on THAT disk...
- What do you mean by "fired"?
- Hey, what does mkfs do?
- Where did you say those backup tapes were kept?
- ...and if we just swap these two disk controllers like this...
- don't do that, it'll crash the sys...SH**
- what's this hash prompt on my terminal mean?
- dd if=/dev/null of=/vmunix
- find /usr2 -name nethack -exec rm -f {};
- Now it's funny you should ask that, because I don't know either...
- Any more trouble from you and your account gets moved to the 750.
- Ooohh, lovely, it runs SVR4
- SMIT makes it all so much easier...
- Can you get VMS for this Sparc thingy?
- I don't care what he says, I'm NOT having it on MY network.

- ...and after I patched the microcode...
- You've got TECO. What more do you want?
- We prefer not to change the root password, it's a nice easy one...
- Just add yourself to the password file and make a directory...
