I did this in 2003. I designed a new server room for a company and had to transition their servers from the zero cable management abomination they previously had to my over engineered fishbowl. To get the servers off the racks I literally had to take garden shears and cut the cables. The pile was a few feet high and I sat on it like a throne because no sane person would pass on that opportunity.
If you have Paramount+, don’t mind doing a free trial, or like to sail the seven seas, you can watch The Reagans documentary series. Another documentary that gives you some insight into the type of people they were is the Rock Hudson one. The TL;DR on that one is that they had been good friends for decades, especially Nancy, and the moment it came out that he had AIDS, they pretended he had never existed.
Ronald was basically an idiot but Nancy was a truly foul human being.
