When the Amiga A500 was da bomb
It had an integral disk drive and a'hing. We were round my best mate’s house, in the sitting room, when we kept getting loading errors, saying something like "please remove all peripherals and try again". Exasperated by the fact that there was no external equipment plugged into the damn thing, my pal demanded, "What peripheral!”

To which his mother, who was in attendance in the sitting room, immediately replied "Oooh they're those little pastries with the cream on the inside and the chocolate on top; a bit like an éclair".
