I was in that room! Poor fellow. It was the demo of our new UPS; I can still remember the gradual fading fans and clicks of capacitors.

He was really nervous showing the new install off to us, and he was just talking through the positions of the switch; but he actually moved the switch to each of them as he did it.

Back in the days the conslops ran the asylum. :)

Any old school UF types looking at this, The Dog list lives on, and is again meeting from time to time. :) But at quieter venues. Our ears have unaccountably gotten old.
