    That vault door is just astounding, only example of 20 active bolts I've seen. And with all that engineering, the finishes topped it off; maybe damascening, certainly jeweling and engine turning, engraving, acid etching and perfectly fit moving parts. That time lock says Diebold to me.

    And we miss PJs...again.
