  We also had a radio on top of Grendle, and programs to play
songs and such.  The radio was actally quite useful, because you
could also hear the card reader on it.  After a while it was easy
to tell the difference between a card being read and processed
and a card just being flushed through the reader.  It was fun to
be able to tell someone he had a JCL error before the deck had
gone all the way through, and before anything came out on the
printer, and they didn't know how we knew.
