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!
