I wrote a PL/I program &nbsp; (the default grid size was 4x4x4) &nbsp; and it was (an infamous) favorite with the (IBM) OS/MFT operators (in Boston). &nbsp; No terminals with screens back then for our shop &nbsp; --- &nbsp; that was waaaaaaaay back in &nbsp; (cough-cough) &nbsp; <small>1970</small>, &nbsp; ... just the mainframe console &nbsp; (an IBM 1052 typewriter). &nbsp; A lot of time was wasted on the off-shifts and weekends, to be sure. &nbsp; A lot of operators volunteered to work on weekends, and the &nbsp; ''powers-that-be'' &nbsp; never caught on &nbsp; (or just didn't care). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:58, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
