                   Server 54, Where Are
                   You?

                   The University of North Carolina has finally
                   found a network server that, although
                   missing for four years, hasn't missed a
                   packet in all that time.

                   Try as they might, university administrators
                   couldn't find the server. Working with
                   Novell, IT workers tracked it down by
                   meticulously following cable until they
                   literally ran into a wall. The server had been
                   mistakenly sealed behind drywall by
                   maintenance workers.

As one of my coworkers said, it obviously was running some
form of UNIX...
