No, I had the toaster on top of my file server.

Those were fun times - Berkeley Systems had a slide going between
floors and a toaster museum in the lobby. We were a block away from the
first Peet's coffee store, and we probably went through 20 pounds a

My server room shared space with the QA room. My main file server
crashed and I had to run disk utilities on it which took hours. On the
other side of the room, we were beta-testing Star Trek: The Screen
Saver on a couple of dozen PCs, and I got to hear a couple of dozen
copies of AD, tribbles shrilling, transporter sounds and the theme song
in my head for the next couple of days. And, "Fascinating...".
