282.0. "B2C$LN03 R.I.P." by CURRNT::JENKINS_R (Brainless in Block B) Tue Oct 03 1989 12:38

   The practical joke season is here again.... BETA_PROJ (who he - Ed?)
   have decided to take their printer away so that nobody else can play 
   with it. Apparently - because its on the BETA_PROJ cost centre, this
   is a permissible action and IS Ops tell me that this is fine with them. 

   This poor little laser printer was known as B2C$LN03 - funeral
   arrangements were not announced.... 

   Beware, yours could be next.... which cost centre is your printer on?

    Richard,
    
    I think you probably got it in one with:
    
    > The practical joke season is here again.... BETA_PROJ etc
    
    Having spoken to one or two people about this it seems that B2C$LN03
    will be available for anyone to use as an when they want to use
    it.

282.2Hey! Check it out!CURRNT::JENKINS_RBrainless in Block BFri Oct 06 1989 12:2815
   Dear Agony Aunt,
   

    
�    Having spoken to one or two people about this it seems that B2C$LN03
�    will be available for anyone to use as an when they want to use
�    it.
    

   If you check out the CURRNT cluster, you will find there are no
   queues for B2C$LN03. According to IS Ops, this is intentional. 
   (See previous note - "I'm taking my printer away so no-one else can
   play with it")

282.3The Necromancers Revenge!CURRNT::DAVIESClose, but no banana.Fri Oct 06 1989 17:5715
    Yeah, yeah. I know it ain't there at the moment but it does take
    those in the Necromancy Dept. a little time to collect all of the
    ingredients to make the Spell work effectively.
    
    I understand that bulk of the collecting of the main ingredient
    (Juice of the 'BEER' plant) will be collected over the weekend and
    the Spell will be cast early next week.
    
    So sometime early next week you should see B2C$LN03 (or the ghost
    of same) back on (in?) the air.
    
    Agony Aunt.
