Re: Reminds me of my days as a desk troll...

We had AppleTalk and 10Base2.

Our biggest problem was people taking their PCs to other sites for meetings/demonstrations. They would unplug the coax of both sides of the T connector and leave the T connector plugged into the PC... Result: no network.

I awalys had a bunch of spare Ts in my toolkit - in fact, put them together properly, with a bunch of end connectors and you get a pretty good Tie-Fighter.
