This is very cool. Brings backs memories and makes me feel very old. I can't believe what was once the fastest computer I'd ever used can now be emulated on a business card. So, story. I worked in a small shop that wrote CAD software. DEC leant us one of the machines to port to Ultrix. We got the port done and the box sat around, occasionally used for debugging and new builds. One day, my buddy and I were playing nerf football in the office. I missed a catch, and the ball hit a can of coca-cola sitting next to the nice $20k loaner DECstation, which poured directly into the case (from the side). I reached down instinctively and yanked the power cord out of the wall (knowing that was probably not going to help much). When we opened the box, we found the most beautiful little circuit board, mounted an inch off the floor of the case. The bottom of the case was a perfectly flat piece of metal, with nothing touching it (the board was mounted to the sides). There was a pool of soda under the board, and nothing important, nothing electronic was touched. I sponged out the case, gingerly plugged it back in and it booted up. This was the only thing we ever did in the office that we never told the boss about.
