	The joke about rewinding fans resembles me one real case:
	I was mastering Unix-like system for East German ugly
	brain-damaged PDP-11 clone (K1630) and have found the
	non-DEC trap "FAN FAILURE" !
	I did not invent any reasonable reaction on that trap. ;-)

	/This BD machine was designed at Robotron (East Germany).
	(We used nickname "Grobotron" for Robtron's machines :-),
	I've heard that one silly Western company bought Robotron
	few weeks ago. Good luck, guys!/  :-)

	Could anybody say me why (practically?) all German machines are
	equipped with power switch on a rear panel, so one have to
	seek for it for some minutes? ;-)

	(It is NOT a joke!)
