Occasionally, there are power glitches on the desktop circuits at UWA.
I remember, perhaps once a year, walking into a particular computer lab
after such an event and finding all the Sun/Apple gear fine and all the
PCs rebooting (was fun to infer this remotely -- "how come half the
machines have vanished?"). As with CRTs, looks like you can't blindly
trust what is sold as "office" equipment.

are still going off-list.)
