I have so many questions.

- Was there a lab where they tested beating people to death with IBM hardware?

- Where did they find subjects? Volunteers, interns, exit-interviews from layoff rounds?

- Now that you can't beat people to death with IBM hardware, what do you use instead?

Shh... we don't talk about those dark ages any more. Times were different.

I believe IBM hardware is still applicable for this, the Thinkpad just isn't IBM hardware anymore.

The hard part of beating someone to death with a z16 is lifting and swinging a z16; if you can manage that, though...

Standard issue for field agents in the corporate acquisitions and consulting divisions.

We test these things in production.
