  I'm told IBM did this back in the 1960s or 70s.  Friend told a story
where, in order to "install" the "CPU upgrade" they had purchased, an
IBM System Engineer came out and *cut a wire* in the CPU cabinet.

  These days, it's standard operating procedure in the world of phone
systems to buy "more ports", which really just means entering a key
code to enable the facilities which are already there.

reportedly written about 2250 years ago)
