theres a large corporation that found a computer running behind drywall a couole years ago, had been untouched for a decade. they unplugged it and it broke their entire ERP. ( had been running servoy)
"DO NOT EVER TURN THIS SERVER OFF - CALL RON" is very good
- Documentation - the worst part of programming.
  
  That's the job for the technical writers, not the programmer haha
I wonder which manufacturer it is?
- I think its dell. Not much to go on, but Texas, global manufacturing and 20yrs seem like good clues.
- I was sure it was Cpq, especially after the Tandem thing. But HP bought them AFTER Cpq got tandem, and it could be them. But HP would never have that kind of badging on a system.
  
  No concrete clue.
