[net.news.config] Jokes about utcsstat still down.

  My favourite experience with DEC Field Service was the delivery of a VAX-750.
Each box containing the (not small) parts of the 750 had the familiar sign:

		    P L E A S E   D O   N O T   O P E N
		To be opened by authorized Digital Equipment
		  Corporation field service personnel only
			   ...(ad nauseum)...

  When DEC showed up there were three guys that looked like refrigerators with
human heads.  Each guy grabbed a box and ran up the stairs to the second floor
of the building.  Reminded me of the Samsonite commercials with the Gorilla
smashing the suitcase.  No human that I knew could possibly handle that
equipment the way our friendly DEC Field Service did.  Guess you had to be
there.

PS:  The machine worked fine.
