> Apparently you can crash one with a light bulb:

I once read that a similar thing happened when the IBM 701 was first
unveiled to the press.  IBM had put the CRT-based storage devices
behind smoked plexiglass, and one could see the memory visually.
Naturally, the photographers took flash pictures of the machine which
caused the memory to fail, crashing the machine.  Wastson's reaction
was to decree that the plexiglass be replaced with a steel plate.
