A bit of a non sequitur, but this part reminds me of a place I worked where there was an old computer terminal set up in the middle of the receptionist’s office, which was tiny, and you had to kind of scootch around it to get in. It was like that for an unknown number of years.
One day before I started working there a couple of smart fellers asked what it was for, and nobody knew, so they investigated and found it wasn’t plugged into anything except the electrical outlet in the wall. Even so, it took them a while to gather the courage to unplug it, because who knows what crazy systems the people before you have set up.
Epilogue: They moved it to a stairwell where it sat for another couple of years looking like the saddest computer in the world before it was finally hauled away. [^1]
