    Hahaha, he was having you pretty good! 😅

    Magic! Have you ever tried magic yourself? I mean stage magic, not the one with old ladies looking into glass balls and puffing weird smoke.

    One of their principles is: “It always happens before it happens”. Means, you have to prepare things and then, when things appear, it looks like magic because nobody has watched you when you prepared it.

    My explanation to that magical AS400 is this:

    The old IT guy wasn’t there by accident. No way. He was there because somebody had called him. He was the only known person who could ever fix the problem after all. Then he had fixed the AS400 already, while you did not watch. Later when you met him, he decided to play his little show, and well, later he had a good laugh…
