[TenTec] Re: Highlights of German Orion Review

[Carl Moreschi]

I used to fix those old tabulating machines when I used to work for IBM way
back in the 60's.  I once had to fix one and when I removed the control
panel with all its plug wires, I looked at the pins that connect to the
control panel and there was a big footprint in the pins.  Someone had kicked
it out of frustration!  I spent the next hour with a pair of pliers
straightening out all those hundreds of pins.  Talk about fun!
