Called head office in Toronto (between 5 and 6 there), they phoned every place in Vancouver (must have woke up so many people) and found a replacement, had it delivered to a floating plane dock, in the Vancouver harbour, with first light a special pilot, flew out of the harbour, to the Victoria harbour, a taxi waiting drove the switch to us waiting in front of the bank...around five...and we have everything installed, re-imaged and running by the time the first workers were arriving. Still to this day I wonder how much that little adventure cost.
