Ah yes, I recall watching them decommission the old Control Data Cyber 990
back at Georgia Tech. The mover slipped trying to get it on the liftgate
and the whole cabinet dropped about a foot to the ground with a nice solid

I know of a case where somebody managed to drop an IBM Shark storage
array off a forklift.

Amazingly enough, it still kinda sorta worked after that....
