I remember, in my previous job (back in the oughts, now), one occasion
on which I was going around adding RAM to various desktop computers in
the area under my purview, by adding more DIMMs to the open slots - and
discovering, when I put the case back together on one of those computers
and went to power it back on, that *it was already powered on and the
system was still booted*.

Surprisingly, none of the hardware showed any sign of damage, and the
system recognized the RAM just fine after a reboot. But it was a bit of
a jolt at the time to realize that I'd just done parts surgery, however
mild, on a powered and running system.
