Our computer at work (a Burroughs, big...) had a 5 V >500 A, 800 A(?)! (approx. 5kW in) power supply just for the CPU. I think you can image how it looked like. Diodes like mutated spark plugs and caps in Farads, not micro or milli.

Per-Anders,
Depending on who you talk to he did actually take the right word. Can't blaim Fred for the lack of accuracy in the works of Robert M Pirsig can we? In Norway it would have been pretty close...

In Scandinavia 'Skål' is a respectfull invitation to take a drink.
In Australia, if the same sound is uttered, the response is "Yeah, scull mate !" and the whole drink is downed as fast as is humanly possible, in order to avoid embarrasment and ridicule for being a slow drinker.
In Aus a descriptive phrase is 'to drink like a fish'.
The english translation of the Danish equivalent is 'to drink like a hole in the ground'.
Languages and expressions amuse me.
