Imagine you're someone that started testing this back when this was launched on home microcomputers. You're 40+ years into the real live test. You own UPS and diesel generators to ensure your system is kept powered through nuclear Armageddon.

You have a multi-generational plan to test this properly in real-time. Then, some dork releases this paper.

I'd sue!
