Sure, it's not malicious. But it is very eager to get things done, and surprisingly inventive and knowledgeable in all kinds of workarounds.

More like the VT-05. The VT-52 came a few years later. But yeah, the VT-420 is way later. Fun fact: The VT-52 didn't have a loudspeaker for the bell sound. Instead, it had a electromechanical relay which was set up to self-oscillate. &
