One time when I was early in my field (stationary engineering) I had a funny experience. It was a small boiler room so only one guy on shift at a time. I came in to relive the operator (60s guy retiring that year) and one of our computers was down. It was one we took hourly readings from for something not too important that we could get the same reading from elsewhere. So anyway, he tells me hes entered the password a dozen times and it just doesnt work. We had the password sticky noted to the monitor so I was skeptical. I noticed caps lock was on, turned it off, entered the password and signed right on. His response was "wow thats great. At least someone around here is good with computers"
