Reminds me of the first computer system install I was ever involved with Paul. It was installed to calculate the wages of London dockers - a very complicated process. They lined up at about 11:30am to collect their pay at noon on Friday - there were quite a few times when we were very happy that the accounting offices were in a former bonded warehouse with _really_ thick doors!
