Re-inventing Debug
#18
Good old Debug.

Back in the before times when I was trying to install OS/2 the distribution assumed drive A was a 3.5 in floppy and wouldn't let you reassign to drive B using any standard tricks.  I called IBM and they FAXED me a DEBUG listing so I could edit the OS/2 installer. 

It's a strange tale of another age when I called IBM with a software problem, talked to a human who was able to find a solution quickly and got a piece of code via a FAX.
