paraded through, and nocsters generally dont like that. I once worked in a NOC where they had a conference room next to it with quick open and close shutters. So you'd be workin, then on display all of a sudden without warning. I really loathed that.
I heard a story (probably apocryphal) about some NOC monkeys that got fed up with the shutter routine - so they cobbled up some little X programs to start putting BIG FLASHING RED BOXES with ominous-looking text, and launched it when the Big Boss was showing off the zoo animals - they then feigned panic, screamed, and ran out of the room, leaving all the flashing red boxes on the screens. They only had to do it a few times before the Big Boss clued in... ;) -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
