(presumably) PC-XT displayed if the keyboard was dead or not
plugged in.
How far do we get to go back in time? From the first online fortran compiler:
ugh1 and ugh2. In fairness these were conditions that were not supposed to

Wasn't there, once upon a time, an error message in FreeBSD which
reported 'This doesn't look like Kansas, Toto'?
