Bonus Post: From the Kap-files # 18

From the Kap-files #18:

[If you've been following along, then you already know that in 18 calendar days, my position is being eliminated at my job, and so I'm looking back through my files, mental or otherwise, representing nearly 11 years with the company ...]

#18:   I know *some* people are still talking about this next item years later.  Seeing as how our office attracted really smart people who had some "down time" on shifts, it didn't take long for someone to figure out that the scanner that was processing grids was connected to a Mac computer that could be programmed to "speak" whenever there was an error (and, with the fact that this equipment was nearing the same age as Methusaleh, there were errors often enough).

And then .. it wasn't too much longer until the Mac was saying things like "I need a hug!" and "Who hired you?" and any number of other fun phrases, catching more than one employee off guard.
