Hey, old timer! I used to be a junior operator in the computer room. I moved up from tape operator to print operator to console operator. Finally, I was the lead console operator during the Y2K rollover. What great memories! I didn't make any enormous mistakes like the one in your excellent lore, but I will say it was because I was never brave enough in that computer room to make a move that mattered. It got easier to be brave when the computers shrank, though. Thanks for the story!
