Thinnet cables are no match for director's morning workout

Sketchley special

I remember working on a project in a large hospital in Bedfordshire back in around 1987. Had a 10Base5 DECnet network connecting a MicroVax to Terminal Servers thence to VT320 terminals. Part of the network ran through a cleaning cupboard. One day the whole network was down, and we discovered the cable neatly snipped to remove about a foot and a half. Probably just enough for a new radio aerial for their car!! Data leaking all over the floor. The fun we had.

Brits must now register virtually all new drones and undergo safety tests
