There's a lot of permutations of this story including life support systems in hospitals I find them all apocryphal. The cleaning staff would notice right away if they just shut down a huge computer. Esp. in the 80s I doubt it even used the same outlet as a regular vacuum cleaner.

- zupzupper 9y agoI too have heard this story, yet I had this exact problem at a k-8 school district, the staff would unplug the power to my t1 each night.
