Re: We obviously never learned our lesson
We had a lightning strike at our Isle of Wight facility in the late 80s/early 90s. 100s of dead DEC VT100 terminals, but due to the US trade restrictions, we couldn't just dispose of them, these dumb terminals were classified as hi-tech that the Russians shouldn't be able to get their hands on (yes, really, a dumb terminal). So the company and its insurers had to pay for the things to be crushed to a pulp and witnessed by a government official and the certificate supplied to the overseers of the trade embargo.
