The last chapter of my "Gun Direction Computer
M15" manual has a section
on destroying the computer if it should fall into enemy hands:
The idea makes my flesh crawl. (I'm not saying it shouldn't be done, only
that it's really scary).
I was going to mention another chapter every computer manual should have.
This also fits into the "It may be a mainframe if..." list that periodically
gets discussed on alt.folklore.computers.
The manual for the SWAC (used by the U.S. Bureau of Standards) has a whole
chapter on first-aid procedures, with emphasis on treatment of burns.
I don't know if it explains how to treat injuries from heavy objects
or angry co-workers.
