IBM jargon

I was once been told by an IBM HW engineer that one of our System 38s „had ceased to be operational because of an AMD failure”

„A what?” i replied
„An AMD failure” He restated
„Woz that?” I asked
„An Air Movement Device” He said
„Oh you mean a fan” sayz I
„No I mean an AMD, Fans just blow air, AMD’s move air in a predefined and expected way”
I beat him soundly with a dead haddock sadly this only resulted in yells of
„Hit the BRS!”
„What is the BRS?” I enquired as the haddock once again smacked up side his head
„The Big Red Switch” He replied spitting scales from between his teeth
„The Big Red Switch? What Big Red Switch would that be”
„The Big Red Switch that stops you battering me on the bonce with a dead haddock”
„Oh” I said continuing to belabour him with the haddock only stopping when he promissed me a boondoggle, mind you he did have to explain what that was aswell
