I recall the arrival of a pair (very early in the release process) of a pair of HP V2250s. Were *supposed* to; show up on Thursday, get racked and cabled on Friday, tested from Saturday to Wednesday, including the OS build and storage configuration, and go live the following weekend. Since they'd rolled off the assembly line on the Monday, they'd been flown up to us, fork lifted off the plane and into a 42' dual axle truck. I'll point out that the two of them (sometimes referred to as paint drying machines) were the *only* two objects put in the truck. Now, being 42" on a side and roughly 40" high, these are not small critters. Or light weight. Why in any deity's name the forklift driver or the truck driver or whomever decided to try and *STACK* them in the truck we will never know. But the large dip to below 3/4 line of the box in one of the corners, and the large dent in the bottom of the other made it clear we were in no way going to hit the Go Live on those two. The HP on-site engineer demonstrated quite an extensive vocabulary that afternoon.
