At Comdex, the late night security people would leave
the computers alone,
but they stole our beer, our cheese and crackers, our cookies, etc.
So,... We made a big lunchbox out of a Compaq. Our food was safe, hidden
in it.
That reminds me of a project that came to nothing.
Back in the late 80's / early 90's, Trace sold a 5.25" floppy disk
autoloader. A customer thought that it looked like a coffee maker. I thought
it would be a marvellous idea to have such a beast as a display item, but
the mechanical work involved proved to be too much
:-(
