Should your lamp ever burn out on your PDP-8  paper tape reader you can
always substitute a dome lamp from a vintage volkswagon... that is, if you
can find one.

But then you guys already knew that!

While we're reminiscing about the Elder Days, can I just mention that I once
leant back in the ops chair at a CDC Cyber170 console, put my foot up
against the panel, and found a power switch... The console went off, and
that sent a glitch down the power line that took the whole machine down.

Oops.

Still, it wasn't me who took out an EDS8 during a night shift chair race
