Nice one, John!

I liked the one about the pilot of an early computerised aircraft, as it plummeted to the ground, looking at his watch and exclaiming “My God, 10^(-9) already?” This no doubt followed the initial customary cries of “Merde!” and “Why did it do that?”

Cheers

Bev

I have recently claimed “five nines, but not necessarily consecutive” to highlight a badly-worded requirement.

Well that was a nostalgic link - who remembers (about 1993 at BAFTA, London ? ) a stand-up row between a speaker who was claiming many 9's - at least 5 or possibly 6 for his controller and an audience member (next to, but not me) who definitely disagreed ?
Thinking about it it may have been an InstMC event not SCSC.

Happy days !
Many thanks.
