reminds me the story a really low numbered CCIE told me about the early
labs.
In his lab there was IGS/MGS/AGS kit and had trouble with one of the boxes
power cycling. He said lucky he had his swiss army knife to help open
the box up
to be able to move a tempature sensor from touching near the PSU to stop
it getting
warm.
No idea how true it was as the guy is always good for a story, but who
knows !.
Any way I will keep of the coloured pencils next time maybe I will pass
then.
Regards
