Living in a box, living in a cupboard box
More interesting finds in the cupboard. For example: ‘When I started work in my current job I opened my desk drawer to find my computer, a ZX81 complete with the extra 16K RAM pack,’ says Chris Carter, at the University of Nottingham.
‘Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the mini printer that went with it, and so was unable to use it fully and had to ask for a new PC.’ Does anyone have the tiny printer to help Chris?
When Roger Taylor, at CSC, worked for a daily newspaper in Holborn, one of his jobs was to clean out the programming office’s new cupboard: ‘I climbed inside with a can of Pledge and a couple of J-cloths.
It wasn’t long before the office joker closed the doors on me. By coincidence, a man from one of our software suppliers arrived exactly at that moment. My team members told him they would check to see if I was in.’
When they opened the cupboard, Roger got to invite the confused salesman into his new ‘office’. So we’re modifying our request: clean out your cupboards, and tell us who you find, as well as what.
