@djsundog @ajroach42
If you do it just right, you’ll have a floor covered in thermite!
@JoshuaACNewman @djsundog floor, equipment, drain, trashcans.
It's going to be a dangerous place for a bit.

Watching the screen re-draw the text in SketchPad (recorded in the summer of 1962 according to the narrator Alan Kay [who had Ivan Sutherland as his doctoral thesis advisor]) is impressive and I can almost feel the wires of the underlying TX-2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TX-2) and display to which it was attached heating up:
