Well it seems to be war-story Friday. When I started as a junior sysprog 40-something years ago, my office was next to the IBM CEs' office. (Remember when every shop had an on-site CE team...?) They had a long shaft and a couple of hefty gears from a 1403 printer, mounted on a little wooden plinth, the whole lot spray-painted gold and labeled The Golden Shaft Award. It was not awarded often, but all of IBM CEs, support, operations, and sysprogs were eligble. These days I'm thinking that such an award would be better reserved for the C-suite people...
