  I had a college buddy whose field was Chemical Engineering -- so of course
he has spent most of his career in real-time and process-control
software....

  Anyway, one of his first jobs was in, I believe, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan,
writing code for a minicomputer that hadn't actually arrived yet.  Well,
near the end of his posting, the manufacturer did TRY to send it, but
someone left out the styrofoam (6" on all sides) between the computer and
its crate.  It was a bumpy air freight flight, and the crate arrived full of
small pieces of metal and plastic.
