Fiche story: I had an autocommand that displayed the spool percentage
every hour or so. Then maybe once a month I would run a program to grab
all the percentages from syslog and produce a horizontal bar graph -
just a simple line of 1 to 100 asterisks for each sample. I'd print
months of that to fiche, and was surprised that I could read the graph
pretty well without a magnifier. So when we had a spool shortage and a
manager came over saying, "Add another spool pack", I'd check for a
spike or trend by holding the fiche up to my desk lamp. I'm sure the
manager thought I was a little nutty with that report, but that was part
of the fun.

As I recall the only 1052 for use as a S/360 console was the 1052-7. I believe that the

printers.
Having COM in those days sounds like luxury; I'm envious.
On one occasion, I used the fiche to show our operations manager that
HASP cancelled a job and that neither the night shift operator nor had
anything to do with it.
