It wasn't mentioned in all the buzz about old computers a few months ago,
but a co-worker who used to be an IBM CE tells me that on at least some
models of the 1403 printer it was possible to make the thing eject pages
so fast that the tractors got hot enough to set the paper on fire.

Other than that, and the fact that this nice computer is provided with
net access, my employer takes no responsibility for the veracity of
any of the above.  Do not try this at home!!!
