Remember that the original AGS was designed by Len Bosack, who
involved in the design work behind the original KL-10 processor.  At a
DECUS meeting, a user complained about the loud fans in the KL-10.

that the KL-10 was originally designed as a hovercraft."  Perhaps
some of the design philosophy has carried over...
