Years ago when Ansett got their first glass cockpit 737-300's one of them was required to take up a holding pattern associated with Sydney 07 ILS. The FMC did a perfect pattern causing the ATC controller who was watching on his radar, to say to the crew, "Oh is that how a holding pattern is flown" - referring presumably to all the abortions of holding pattern tracks he had seen in the past.
