PAH!  We had a 3840 where we had to inscribe markings on stone tablets
which
had to be stacked in the correct order.  IT Support was a dangerous
occupation back then.  If you dropped a tablet you could end your career if
it landed on your feet.  The annoying thing was waiting for the marzipan to
react with the endotropisco, and the sun to burn the display into the
ground.  It could be a day before you realised it had crashed.
