This made me think of a 5 year old slightly rusted/beaten up model where you open the back and find a homemade rack containing a PDP-11, a greenscreen terminal, and an acoustic coupler modem plus assorted cables with alligator clips for hot-wiring a phone booth when its crew of leisure-suit wearing mutton-chops-sporting long haired undercover agents want to hack ARPAnet

@cstross there is absolutely a Cray-1 in the back of that
@pikesley Have you ever SEEN the cooling system of a Cray-1?!? The bit that goes under the floor level, weighs several tons, and uses now-highly-illegal Freon coolants to keep it from glowing cherry red and emulating a reactor meltdown when you boot it?
@cstross I never said it was working...
