It's funny how laymen (laypersons/laypeople?) think that the flashing lights are integral to the computer running software.

I used to work for an aircraft manufacturer in the mainframe days and the Computer Room Manager brought a gaggle of military brass hats around for a tour. As he was extolling the power and capacity of the computers, indicating the rows of orange boxes (ICL mainframes) and so on, he noticed that the entire gaggle was ignoring was he was indicating and instead were fascinated by a large array of lights and dials upon one wall. They were muttering things like, "Very impressive" and "Looks powerful" while gazing at the array.

The lights and dials on the wall were indicators for the air conditioning and power supplies! Sigh | :sigh:
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
