[Am-info] Story from a friend of mine.....

[Fred A. Miller]

Subject: Possible radiation therapy risk

As a patient being irradiated by a Varian linear accelerator, it interested
me to be told by a technician that when they are behind schedule it is
usually because of a computer crash.  He said that the accelerator is
controlled by "three computers that talk to each other."  I inquired further
and found out that they are PCs running Windows 2000.  Not exactly
confidence inspiring!
