18 Bits Might Make Your Own Bits Tingle
According to one of the people working on the Ted Nelson’s Junk Mail project, the sales team for the EPI-118 computer thought it was pretty damned sexy:
How many computers come with a disclaimer of their aphrodisiac effects, after all?

Definitely you would want to see your doctor about any erections lasting longer than four hours, sure, yup, don’t neglect that.

You can really see how that would start rumors about orgies breaking out in any house where it was installed!
