Mid 1996..."The man from the Monk shop said that it needed a whole new motherboard, but then pointed out that the new improved MonkPlus models were twice as powerful, had an entirely new multi-tasking Negative Capability feature that allowed them to hold up to sixteen entirely different and contradictory ideas in memory simultaneously without generating any irritating system errors, were twice as fast and three times as glib, and you could have a whole new one for less than the cost of replacing the motherboard of the old one." (from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency published in 1987)
Been there, done that.... several times since 1983!
