Hayley reminded me of this the other day, it is actually a true story.
Going back a few years, when a 486 DX 50 was the dog's danglies and hard disks were sold in Mb not Gb, we received a delivery of new PCs. They were sat in the back room still in their boxes, covered in a load of stickers including the recent addition of "Intel inside", and needed unpacking. One of the trainee operators was designated with the task. A few minutes past with not a lot of activity, then the operator came back in with a very confused look on his face, and said, "DO I NEED TO TAKE THE INTEL OUT FIRST". We all cracked up much to his embarrassment, especially when we pointed out that the "Intel" was the processor. :D :D Strangely enough he has never lived it down, nor have we let him forget it. :D
