    I used to be on a team of 10 people that installed & managed roughly 3,000 servers and associated networking gear. We got hit hard in the early 2000’s by the Capacitor Plague and it fell on me to identify around 700 faulty motherboards and manage their replacement.

    I don’t miss that at all…

      Thankfully I’m not in IT, but I worked at a place that ordered a batch of faulty drives.

      That was a pain in the ass.
