| When you move to the Crescent please leave all DELNI's,
DECservers, transciever cables etc behind. All comms equipment
at Acre Road should remain behind.
New connections will be provided for you when you arrive at the
Crescent.

| Yea, though the people of Acre Road were much industrious and did
produce an abundance of wealth for The Company, yet there came a
time when all was not well.
And the oracle did pronounce that the time to go on a pilgrimage
to the south was fast approaching and all the subjects of the company
must be uprooted with their terminals and books and pens and anchovies.
Even so there was yet little room on the discs and the pronouncment
came that all the subjects of The Company should purge their files
and remove all the crap that hath remained from the results of their
industries and that crap should be discarded and become as but ether
in the net and pass into nothingness.
And those that failed to heed the pronouncements in time were punished
most severely and the great diskquota beastie did byte. And there
was much wailing and gnashing of hairy teeth as a myriad of Doom
creatures were deleted from the ether.

| Just for clarification (a.k.a. I'm too thick to understand the original
message).
Do I take the data cable that joins my terminal to the hole in the wall
or not?
Connectively yours
Ian.

| Re: Your Biblical address.
I am unclear about roles. Is it me, you or Steve who has to part the
Red Sea or do we all have to walk on water as usual. (and can we leave
Acre road before the last plague arrives; we've had the rats, boils,
starlings, flies and coffee).

| Since I'm a software chap, and don't understand these hardware
terms, is the transciever cable the one that goes from the
ethernet connector on the micro PDP to the DELNI?
Are these cables being provided?
Ta, Peter.

| 133.6 | Cables to be removed | NECK::THOMPSON | | Thu Apr 21 1988 17:20 | 22 |
| As I understand it we leave behind *all* cables which join terminals
to LAT points, and all ethernet cables joining Microvax/GPX's/PDP to
either ethernet H4000 points (Black objects, about 8"x4", make a tee
joint in the yellow covered ethernet cable) or to DELNI's (grey
boxes with the word DELNI written in red under the Digital logo!).
The exceptions include cables which you've obtained from System Management,
or before that, Joan Early, which are usually the pale grey ones
with the Digital logo on the plug ends. Take those cables with you.
Also take cables which join printers to terminals. They won't be
provided at the Crescent.
It would help if you could return any spare cables you've got to
Wai before 29th April so that a pool of spare cables is available
at the Cresent from day 1. At the moment that pool is very limited
because they seem to travel in one direction only - out.
If you've got any unused VT100's or broken terminals stacked on
the top of cabinets etc. then you *must* make sure that they go
to your new location.

| The last note mentioned that you should bring your VT100's with
you to your new abode. Why, you said, should I bother lugging that
old heap down to a posh new office where I can't even use it?
The reason is I may be able to do an exchange for VT220/240's if you
bring it round to my rabbit hutch.
Unfortunately this offer doesn't apply if you left your VT100 at
Acre Road unless you included 2 ethernet terminators with your entry
to the 'Name that node' competition.

| I brought both my VT100's down here with me, the next day they both
disappeared! Now if I had both these and my 2 VT220's can I trade
them all in for a GPX? :-)

| I have a box full of assorted cables (basically, anything not screwed
down came with me). Do they have any trade-in value? DO you give
Green Shield stamps? I'll swap a Geoff Hurst, Nobby Stiles and a
Gordon Banks for a VT340. Any takers?
