I've seen boxes of cards, set innocently on top of a 1403, go scattering when the paper out was hit. I've seen the 1403 slew a whole box of paper at one time when the control ribbon broke. There are other war stories but those will always stay fresh.
Makes me wonder about the cumulative total of years this list represents. Can we say it's in the thousands?
