Every machine had its own "personality".  I have never
figured out how to describe this other than using human
attributes.  Merging two machines together created a
different personality.  When they were split into two
systems, they reverted back to their old personality.
Each customer's machine was also different.  Some of that
had to do with the kind of care of the center and usage
of the users.

When one was sent to work on site, one of the
first things a person did was learn about that
personality.
