One of my brothers and I got a tour of the CN data centre in Moncton 
when I was in high school by the father of one of our schoolmates. He 
ran a program that played "Here Come the Saints" on the IBM chain 
printer. My brother and I thought it was pretty amusing but you can't 
entertain kids like that any more. :)
