Ours did that Friday, and the servers aren't happy with it. I'm heading in now
to clean the mess up. Just out of curiosity, is there an actual term for this?
Does it sounds like BS? And, what do you think it did to the MicroVAXen...

We were told this was what had happened by the power company, does it sound
like BS or what?
