			== The debug incident ==

			I was just remeniscing about this and thought I'd write it down. At one company we worked together TFreak and I were admin staff. A company wanted us to evaluate their router so that we'd eventually use that router instead of Cisco or something. The marketing droids were sure that we could go on console and not break anything. It took TFreak 20 seconds to find the "debug" command and the marketing engineers face turned white. "I don't think you want to go any further or you'll likely cause damage", he said. It was a really funny moment.
