I have never forgotten the day I asked about changing the baud rate on a serial
line on my colleges Honeywell level 66 mainframe. They took me into the machine room
and opened one of the cupboards to show me the wirewrap that would need to be changed.

I don't remember the details as I was mesmerised by the thousands of flashing LEDs,
wonderful stuff.

The good news from Ron's photos is it seems they do make 'em like they used to,
abet a little smaller.
