Only mildly computer related story:
At the roller-skating rink near my house in 1980, there existed one of
the first "x's and o's" football video game. Normally, the game would
give you 5 minutes of play time for a quarter. *But*, if you kicked
the base of the machine with the toe-stop of a roller-skate, the game
would add another 5 minutes to your time. Of course, this made a very
loud noise, and we had to time it just right with the rock music that
was playing at the time... :-)
