Another interesting tidbit about this box, it still
has its inventory
sticker from NASA, and it orig cost good old uncle sam $22,000+. Anyone
else wonder why they didn't have it outfitted with a network interface of

Maybe it was a secured device from the clean room,
in that case you wouldn't want it networked.
