    Laughing Out Loud

    I thought this group was for high tech people using a high tech Operating System.

    That's true. A group of very helpful and knowledgeable people that took me by the hand and led me through an SSD upgrade and other things small and large

    What I didn't know is at 65 I'd be one of the younger ones

    Seems like there are many experienced, smart people who
    somewhere in their early years got bitten by the computer bug

    That Computer addiction, like Malaria, has no cure

    Which reminds me of another widely shared trait

    Curiosity. Who hasn't been tempted to Push A Button, especially when told not to?

    Our team, a PC & Macintosh Upgrade team, was given an old microwave laboratory to work out of
    at a major defense contractor

    All the equipment was gone, except for an Unmarked Big Red Button on the wall about shoulder height

    Our boss made a big point of warning us not to touch that button. He said he had asked around about
    it and nobody knew. It was leftover from some project in the '50s

    My friend Raul would come in every morning and standing within reach of the button glare at it

    It go to be a running joke that the boss would come in every morning, see Raul glaring at the button,
    and have to warn him off

    We actually didn't press that button for 3 months, but one afternoon it got pressed.

    The power went off in the lab and several nearby rooms

    It was an emergency power cutoff

    Raul was pissed because he was out when the unknown person (one of us) punched the button


    It was an old building and it literally took hours to reset the power
    Anybody that ever worked on machines knows, Green=Start. Red=Stop, big red mushroom= TROUBLE, push and run like hell.

    I'm not sure who pushed the button. It wasn't me nor my friend Raul.

    But the Big Red mushroom button killed all power to a good part of the building and they snuck out under the cover of darkness

    The boss should have known that telling us not to push the button had a waving red flag effect
