Lol, not to mention Cobalt and other horrors that are lurking in Legacy systems no one has looked at in 50 years.

I'm thinking mainframe terminals, where the character has to be in the right place on the screen in order to store something in RAM.

Even worse, how many systems are still using punch cards? How often do those cards need to be replaced?
