This is very bad.
The last show I watched was the BBC's "Civilizations: Rise and Fall". So I will be saved by a team of archaeologists, in about 1700 years.
Anybody who'd like to try ELIZA out might want to know that there is a very similar program built into GNU Emacs (start it with M-x doctor).

Professor Kleinrock has donated the source code listing to the Computer History Museum. As of today, it is now available at www.computerhistory.org/collections/...
I hope that some day soon we will be able to run it again: tx-2.github.io
Prof. Leonard Kleinrock pioneered the application of queuing theory to modelling message switching networks in his (Ph.D. thesis and) book, "Communication Nets: Stochastic Message Flow and Delay". This was based on a simulation program which he wrote on the MIT Lincoln Laboratory TX-2 computer.

In the UK, S&H stamps were pink because Green Shield Stamps beat S&H to the trademark.
Imitated in the UK as "Green Shield Stamps", widely adopted. In 1977, the UK chain Tesco stopped participating in the stamps to cut costs. Terry Leahy proposed a loyalty card at Tesco in 1993, but execs were nervous. Leahy was successful and so the modern data-mining-driven loyalty card was born.
Given the above, corecore turned out to be pretty disappointing.

A nice-looking venue, where was it?
I'm not an expert, but I was under the impression that the laws to prevent this are already in place, and they didn't help.
I have a Saga 1 keyboard, it was a big improvement. I recently got mine refurbished by these folks: www.mutant-caterpillar.co.uk/shop/index.p...
Restoring it was a giant pain for them; Ian described the pain, but there's not enough space in a comment to quote his description of the, er, saga.
I don't think I dare read such a book. Since probably half the books I read after it will make me emit tutting and sighing noises.
