Supercomputers, fishing for information

[Eric Smith]

Around 1985, Tony Anderson of Intel gave me a tour of the Intel Scientific
Computers operations at their Oregon facility. At the time they were
building the 80286-based iPSC/1.  Seemed like pretty neat stuff.

That was where I learned that one shouldn't stick one's hands into a
computer while wearing metal jewelry (rings, watches, etc.), even if only
low voltages are present.  Fortunately I didn't have to learn it the hard
way.
