Hmm, another gay inference, how typical. No, its for a hospital. Pity you didn't think of that but there again, the word 'think' isn't something that tends to apply to you. No doubt you'll reply with your usual witless 'charm'.

Instead of sitting there drooling into your lap, why not answer the question.


Who were you supporting at 11pm on a sunday night working on a helpdesk?

I know you're stuck in the Thatcher era, but there are such things as 24 hour companies - indeed, there have been since the 3 day week ended (or has it, in your little world?). There are also companies in other countries (11pm Sunday UK time is the start of the working week in Australia).

Also, in firms that aren't officially 24 hour, the IT facility for staff working from home needs to be maintained 24/7. I've received a call-in at 5am due to someone important not being able to get in to his Outlook Web Access (it was a loose cable. In his f***ing house).

But of course, in 1980 the IBM 5100 repairman only worked 9 to 5, Monday to Thursday; 9 to 4 Fridays. And wore a suit...

Tragically I actually remember that era but I can assure you that the 3031 engineers worked 24/7 They still wore suits though.

Did they ever come and do a "handbag job" on them?

That was my dads term for the in-running processor upgrades that IBM could do (on kit which was factory-crippled and could be "upgraded" to its real spec for payment). They'd send this really camp French man in a canary yellow tailored suit (matched the doors on the 3031 in the IBM musuem) around with a handbag containing a disk to do it

Well, that would have been an 8" Floppy because by then disks were mainly fixed although there were some 3330s still knocking about. Strange to think about its now but in 1987 I commissioned an IBM 4381 which was the dogs for that range as it had SIXTEEN MEGABYTES of RAM ! I cannot remember how much storage was on the four 3380s we installed but I would hazard a guess that that it was less than the modest 160 gigs I have on my modest desktop.
