I've heard tales of old ICT 1301s being
operated by people stripped
down to their pants (underpants for those to the left of the pond)
when the air conditioning failed because otherwise the payroll run
would not be done, and of course they themselves would not be paid
as well as taking flak from all the other workers.
A bunch of nerds in their underwear clustered around a
minicomputer...what an image!
