Comrades,

Where I can find anecdotal examples of poor usability in practice? I
have plenty of HCI/Modern horror stories but I am looking for historic
examples (World War II maybe?) that go farther back historically (think
on the level Wiley E. Coyote and his misadventures with ACME products).

Findings will be summarized back to the group.

Thanks,
Ben Speaks
