While I was browsing the web with Netscape, the infamous "parity error
in SIMM 7" attacked air-traffic-controller (18.81.0.99, in m11-135) and
bit its head off. All the way off. Now when you try to turn it on
(assuming the round button on the front of the SGI), the light next to
said button flashes green, then changes to red and you hear a "bloop",
then back to green as it tries to reboot again, and repeat ad infinitum.
It's dead, Jim. If someone could perform an autopsy on it, that'd be
great.
