SYSTEM CRASH (to the tune of "The Monster Mash")



I was working in the lab, late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight,

Some smoke from our VAX began to rise

And suddenly, to my surprise...



[chorus]

(There was a crash) There was a system crash

(A mighty crash) I heard the disk heads smash

(A system crash) It came down in a flash

(There was a crash) A fatal system crash



The lab manager then appeared from his room,

Said: "I don't want to be a prophet of doom,

But we had one like this just the other day

Which blew up 4 megs and the SBA"



[chorus]



The system had just been booted, diagnostics

had all run through, When a power fluck made it

all run amuck, then SCOTTY and IRVING blew too



So we'd lost all our VAXes in less than one night

When a VP came in and said: "hey, that's all right,

I'll loan you a Venus - here's what to do

When you call up Support, tell them Gordon sent you...



[chorus]
