A Sutter Classic - Buzz’s New Monitor

This video is an oldie, but a goody.

Note: It was a big deal to get a 21" CRT monitor back in 2001

Timing was everything with this prank. Buzz was needed for a meeting just after his new monitor arrived, allowing Jim Quindlen and myself time to switch out his 21" monitor for an old 15" monochrome monitor we had in the back. And to make the box seem heavy enough, we threw in an old "kitchen sink" we had stored in the warehouse. We taped up the box, slid it back next to his desk, and awaited his return. I had to leave the office, but Jim alertly got the video camera in place to perfectly catch Buzz's reaction to what he saw in the box. Good thing I was not there, as I would not have been able to keep a straight face. In fact, I still cannot when watching this video.
