OK brainiacs, we've got an IT cold case for you: Fatal disk errors on an Amiga 4000 with 600MB external SCSI unless the clock app is... just so
Saturday 11th April 2020 21:26 GMT 
The root of the problem
SCSI
Is was never all that reliable on any system. The most common was termination in the chain issues. This would throw disk errors all day long. And there was never any reliable or logical fix for it.
My best guess is a certain signal was being sent when the clock was set "just so" that temporarily resolved it. But that was SCSI for you. Not even joking when I say getting them to work reliably was damn near witchcraft.
Don't even get me started on ZIP drives.

Ah Power Point 3
My first regular PC jobs were making slides in Power Point 3 (Win 3.5), Genigraphics (remember them? Dedicated consoles late 80s-early 90s) and Harvard Graphics (DOS 5)!
Targa cards (and the like, and there weren't many makers in those days) were the only way to get the image to the cameras.

Re: Everyone is working - Except the boss
Reminds me of a recurring call for a PC that was failing. I'd come out fix it and double check it and a few days later it failed again.
On the third call out I was asked to come earlier than usual. This is when I notice the A/C was not running at the time, though had been the previous times. In the middle of summer. A very hot summer (as they normally are here)
I instantly realized what the problem was. The client actually wanted to argue that heat was not the problem.
Oddly, I did not have to go out a 4th time and learned they were no longer having problems.
