Reminds me of our IT manager we had end of the 1990s. We had created a new application and stored some 3.5 million customer records on the server database. He didn't believe it and wanted to see them scroll across the screen - now wait for it - right in front of an international audience of IT specialists who were there to see our application. Duh!
