I used to love when the word processing system would crash and the IT guy (singular in those days) would come around and advise us it would be a while before the Wang was back up. (I’m old enough to recall when IBM Selectrics were waaaay cool).

I can remember when I was the ROM.

We'd have to toggle in about 14 instructions from the front panel before the computer could read from the paper-tape reader and load BASIC.

<sigh>Those were the days.
