@foone @mattbee you can try it with this curses-based Therac UI simulator my friend wrote for an April Fools' joke for a class we were teaching years ago: http://web.mit.edu/6.033/2007/wwwdocs/assignments/handson-therac.html

New phone. Looking forward to all the time I’ll save dialing by storing my contacts… on punch cards!
