    Font - scalorn 8 hr. ago Oh this reminds me of a story of my own. Back in the late 90s I worked at a company where we had colocated a host in a local datacenter. Now there were various issues with this company so we removed the server from the datacenter and cancelled the contract. 3 Months later they call looking for money on that cancelled contract. We told them they could keep the server to cover the missing payments. Awhile back they called saying they couldn't find the server. We were like
