[rescue] The aesthetics of rescue

[Lionel Peterson]

15 years ago (aprox., not exact) I worked in a datacenter with many
3090/600E systems (then the biggest IBM had) - but I was only a console
operator...

It was fun though - I think they had about 12 of them, and at least one
3090/200 as a test system (for the System Programmers to try things out
on)... That was a mixed shop (MVS/XA and VM/XA or VM/SP). They had
about a dozen waist-high 3480 cart decks and a half-million 3420 reel
tapes - I was part of the conversion from reels to carts.

Fun.

Sometimes I miss working 4:00 -> 12:00 each night.
