Reminds me of a guided tour in the computer museum at University of Stuttgart when Clemens Krause told us that back in the days, the operators could hear what the machine is doing. For example they recognized by ear that the end of the tape is about to be reached soon, so they then could walk over and prepare a tape change or the like. Pretty awesome. :-)
