Worst kludge Re: origins of "kludge"

[Bill Girnius]

My kludge was on a Mac SE 30 I had been given for free, it was my first mac 
in the collection.  It wouldn't boot, took it apart, problem was obvious, 
last stick of RAM wasn't snapped in because one side of the little plastic 
clips was broken off.  Wanting to see if it worked, I took a Q-tip, snapped 
both heads of so it was just long enough to hold the stick upright against 
the back of the MB chassis.

This was performed in 1996, it still runs today like that :)
