Emmett recounted how he was sent to Belfast during the Troubles to investigate repeated hard disk failures on a Trivector computer, which had crucial medical software.
The Trivector was described as a 'magnificent beast', oversized for transport but significant for early computing in medical management thanks to 1982's IT82 program.
Despite its value, the older technology like the Trivector caused headaches; after multiple hard disk replacements, tensions were rising with the client regarding ongoing failures.
The IT82 program demonstrated the UK government's commitment to enhancing small businesses through technology, marking a pivotal moment for computing in 1982.
