Rubber Ball Takes out Network!

	This Falls into the Believe it or Not Catagory ---

	There was a power outage last night, which resulted
	in loss of the network connections between the SGI lab, the
	PC lab and their respective password servers, currently
	located in my office.

	Evidently, a small rubber ball that I had sitting on
	the window shelf rolled off the shelf some time yesterday
	evening.  It executed a direct hit on the toggle switch
	of the power strip sitting behind my desk.  This power strip
	supported a Network Delni, which connected RED and RAT,
	the SGI and PC Servers to rooms 228 and 232.  

	The result was a variety of problems, related to lack of
	password and group authentication.

	My appologies for all the problems that it caused.
