Totally off topic:

But this reminds me of remotely debugging an HP 2000 Basic app designed to
run on a  Hazeltine 1500 block mode terminal.  We followed the code while
the user talked us through his steps.  No way was this happening.  We asked
him to go slower, and tell _everything_ he did.  Only when he got to "...
then I scroll the paper back..." did we figure out he was on a TI810 hard
copy terminal.  ;-)
