On the topic of lost source code... we had a few blessed binaries that were vital to building System 8 and System 9 at Apple. There was a single build machine that could generate these binaries from other object code but the source was long gone. Oh please oh please old Quadra 700, don't give out on us! Those days are over right? Surely nothing like that is happening with OSX...

Every company has a shrine to vital things that can not break under any circumstances. We have a holy Win7 Thinkpad.

Often there are gurus too and monks live in the caves next to the relics, trying to guard the sacred grounds and spreading the gospel.
