   2.  According to Don Olivier ,
   his system manager came in to work one morning to find his IBM
   system down with a message on the console that said "AMD
   failure".  After he and the service rep had puzzled over
   documentation for an hour or so they called headquarters and
   eventually learned that it the failure was in the cooling
   system: an AMD is an "air movement device", IBM for "fan".
