The friend that introduced me to Linux had a Slackware box that had been
up for nearly 2 years. The department was moving to a new building and
it was going to need to be switched off. We spent nearly a week toying
with ways to keep power applied safely while the box was carried down 5
floors and 2 blocks down the street to the basement of the new science
center at GSU. The limiting factors were : it was not already on a UPS
(they were still VERY expensive in 1995 for a University budget for a
grad student computer) and it was already powered up so soldering jumper
leads to existing power connectors while powered on just didn't seem
like a good idea.

End result was safety won out and we powered it off. :(
