What you REALLY need is a vintage Friden square root calculator. They
were electromechanical devices that were widely used for serious number
crunching at the dawn of digital computer. You could set one of those up
to divide by zero, and it would churn away for hours, merrily looking
for a solution in its cogs and gears. I was working for the NYS
Education Dept. summers when going to school, and this was a great way
to convince my boss I was busy while I read dirty books and so forth.
