Was a computer for me. :-)
I had just completed building a Heathkit H8/H9 back in the late 70s. I called a friend and said “get over to my apt quick. I have something to show you”. After he got there, I told him “I bet you never have seen a personal computer do what this one will”! FYI, all day this thing had been working great. Well I fired it up (not thinking fire in the literal sense) and BOOM smoke sparks and flame. The PS blew up. After we both managed to catch our breath (I was laughing so hard I could barely get the dang thing unplugged), he said “yup, I have never seen a personal computer do that”.
And they let YOU control satellites?
