On July 6, 1988, during the Mexican presidential election, the government computers mysteriously crashed: 'se cayó el sistema'.

My cousin still has a cassette taped off the air that night. Right before the station cut out, there was a high-pitched carrier squeal. -- Sergei Moreau *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
