I like the steering wheel.

In a different life I was a computer operator on an IBM 360 mod 30, I think it was. It was not quite this crude but occupied a space almost this big. It had 32K, and when we upgraded to a 64K machine they put the old CPU on the service elevator, took it down to the street where they pushed it into the back of a large Mayflower van lines trailer. When the movers turned and walked back out of the trailer the CPU (then valued at millions I was told) followed them out and did a nose dive off the back of that van and on to Milam street in downtown Houston. Quite a stink that caused.

Such progress and still we struggle to make a beer which tastes great and is less filling.
