|I've seen this happen.  Nice description, especially about the lines lifting

|crater in the tops of plastic DIPs.

Wow, now I know what to do with these antique computer boards I have.
Wait, I'll get the video cam first. :-)

Ok, a story. Somebody can repost the comp.risks article, but it really
isn't that complicated. Seems some photog was taking publicity pictures
in a machine room and crashed the machine everytime he took a picture.
Eventually they realized that the flash was getting into the optical
sensors and all the tape drives were seeing EOT at once. Sigh, exabytes
and cartridge tapes are no fun. :-)
