A few years ago, my boss at the time came to me one day and said, "Don't make your self indespensible to me, cos if you do, I'll have to sack you!".

The relevance in this thread?

Any single machine that is so indispensible that it being down can cost $100,000, should be done away with, forthwith.

Why? Cos one day--sooner rather than later, and despite air-condition rooms, premium-grade, tested components, regular maintainance and all the TLC in the world--it's gonna fail. And Murphy's law, it's gonna do it just as that $100,000 contract is being finalised.
