Fred once told me a brief story about the installation of the new =
raised-floor computer
room for the alice machine.  =20

He had requested that the floor be wet-mopped before the tiles were =
installed.  When
the installer informed Fred that they weren=E2=80=99t going to bother, =
Fred obtained a small
bottle of elemental mercury from his office and showed it to the =
installer.

The installer had the choice of wet-mapping the floor, or cleaning up a =
mercury spill
in moon suits. He relented.
