The computer failed, so George fixed it
From I, Cringely: The Pulpit:
Finally, I am sorry to report this week the death of George Morrow, one of the early pioneers of personal computing. Morrow started two computer companies of his own — Morrow’s Microstuff and Thinkertoys (later called Morrow Designs after the lawyers for TinkerToys objected) — and his computer designs were also built by Osborne Computing and Zenith Data Systems. George was audited by the IRS, and the agent used a Z-171 computer that George designed. The computer failed halfway through the audit, so George fixed it.
