Interesting bit of trivia: You know the old, manually operated telephone switchboards? The ones with all the plugs and patch cable? They had a flat surface on top, with lots of ventilation slots cut in the panel to allow the heat from the vacuum tubes to escape easily.
What do you suppose the primary cause of failures in those devices was?
Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup.
The operators would set their soup mugs on that flat surface, and inevitably it would get spilled sooner or later.
Just a bit of useless trivia that I always found interesting. Carry on.
