@todbot I have a similar cover on my sound system to guard against a different kind of excited Molly fingers.

@todbot I wonder where Molly is now, and if she knows 😅

@todbot we use to get the tape trolley hitting the entire floor computer room power out switch every couple of years until they put one of these over it.

@todbot As a former 4341 systems programmer, I endorse this shutdown protection.

@todbot @daisy at my old job we DIY’d a Mollyguard for an EPO out of the little plastic tripod that came in pizza boxes to stop the lid from sagging down onto the pizza and some electrical tape.

@todbot We could have used one of these at one of my previous jobs... we had just acquired another company and we brought their engineers over to see our server room. In their office, you had to swipe a keycard to enter a door but you
had to press a button next to the door to exit it. So when they left our server room, one of their guys instinctively pressed the button by the door and KACHONK. Everything turns off

At a later job I told my boss this story and said we ought to put some sort of a guard on the emergency shutoff button. He said "Don't worry, it's not connected to anything"

@todbot that machine came out in the late 70's, so Molly is probably in her 40's now.

@todbot When tech makes you go “aww…”!
