I love that somebody had to go to a print shop and ask for "Video Game Plan Forms".
Probably the most awe-inspiring thing to me about most great 20th century engineering (and other) accomplishments is that, except in a very few fields (and then rather late) they basically took place without the aid of computerized communication, research, and organizational tools. It seems so daunting to, for example, fight a globe-spanning war on two fronts involving dozens of allied nations and millions of men and women, without even the aid of a spreadsheet.
