Comment Expensive hardware that wasn't mine (Score 1) 301

Mid 90s, someone at work had helpfully returned a Dialogic DTI/211 full length ISA card to me by putting it in my top desk drawer, which was mostly full with cables and small parts. Except that they had never borrowed it from me in the first place, so I never expected it to be there. It was in an anti-static bag, so not recognizable.

Some time later I'm working on something at a different table. Reach to the side and put a ribbon cable in that drawer without looking. I push it closed, and it pops back open. I push much harder, and something cracks.

Telephony board that I was told ran somewhere between $5k and $15k at the time is now in two pieces.
