I remember reading an old science fiction story that I just couldn't
make sense of. There was a computer that kept complaining about the
calculator. It apparently was well-wired, as it was present even at
meetings. AI made it talk.
After a couple of rereadings, I realized that "computer" was the guy's
job. The story was from circa 1930, when electronic and mechanical
computers were weak and building-sized.
