When I was about 10 (around 1960), the place my
father worked
installed a barnful of IBM's; I got to tour
the
joint, and the
thing I remember best was when one of the
operators played
a buzzy "Happy Birthday" on what I
remember as a
printer, though
maybe it was the paper tape reader.
Back in 1982 or so, I did a piece in my office that
employed about a
dozen spacially separated line printers and beeping
terminals. Due to
lags in the computers and devices some very cool
kinda minimalist
phasings and staggerings happened.
The good thing about working the midnight shift was
that I was able to
get away with such stunts. The bad thing was that no
one else ever heard it.
