I fixed all the hardware except with the one machine
which was on a DEC maintenance contract, the smallest
and least capable machine of the lot, an 11/10AD

Wrong. That fool was so completely incompetent
that I had to watch him like a hawk because he was
absolutely guaranteed to fuck things up completely.
He couldn’t even manage to replace the main
transformer in a massive great drum printer which
had every single terminal and wire labelled and
put the correct wire on the correct terminal.

And it was fucking hilarious watching him swap
every fucking thing except the 6' high rack and
STILL not manage to fix it. Turns out the spare
board had a very similar fault to the one with
the actual fault and that wasn’t obvious until you
looked very closely, something he couldn’t manage
and I had to work out what the problem was for him.

Wrong again. I did in fact decide whether to use
those facilitys myself with the hardware I did identify
as faulty, decide whether to fix it myself or to get
DEC to repair the module the same way FS does
with a faulty module.

You don’t have a fucking clue about what I actually did.
