The $nn million dollar machine is powered down. It takes us almost a whole day to do so. It usually takes about 5 hours to power it back up.

Le machine de $nn millions est éteinte.
Ça nous prend presque une journée entière pour l'éteindre. Généralement, il faut environ 5 heures pour la remettre en marche.

@tankgrrl I can't believe you are still running Windows 98 on Harvard's largest compute cluster.

Why do you need 98 when 95 is enough!

@Eggfreckles @jon_alper @octothorpe I read Jon's post as "VMs" instead of "VMS" 😄

@tankgrrl @jon_alper @octothorpe that's okay we know you are anti-VAX.

@Eggfreckles @jon_alper @octothorpe
oh god don't put that on the internet or the next thing you know i'll be branded anti-vax.

But we still don't understand the effects of VMS on greybeards.

@Eggfreckles Fair. I'll see if we can work it into the budget.
