I knew this weird hippie computer operator in the mid 70s that developed a program to write Tibetan prayers around the outside edges of the disks of the Burroughs mainframe belonging to the insurance company we both worked for. Kind of a high-tech prayer wheel. His hope was to "improve the spiritual ambiance of the computer room." I thought it was brilliant. Actually worked a little.
