Indeed. I have fond memories setting up [and IML them often ] those 3270 
controllers for our 3278 / 3279 terminals. My own preference was setup two 
[3279] terminal for my own usage with 32 lines by 80 columns. Juniors only got 
24x80 until they politely ask me. ;-)

Then one second-hand imbecile of an *sshole working with electrical cables 
decided to cut all my coax cables with a sidecutter. His lame excuse was, my 
cables were in HIS way [1] . He nearly lost his work. I was <censored> mad 
about that episode, because we need to share some terminals with un-cut coax 
cables while we fix up [2] the mess, which is a pity because I want to use his 
sidecutter on a sensitive body part between his legs. <grrrrrr>

Today those young guys/gals won't understand all those 'underground', uhum, 
'underfloor' work... ;-D

... and won't really understand IML and such unused 
terminology/jargon/acronyms...

[ 1 ] - Mind you, there was more than enough vertical + horizontal spaces under 
those floors. That person wants a shortcut and thus laid the wires not in 
recommended route due to the shortness of his wires...

[ 2 ] - You quickly learn to use self-adhesive labels on both ends of such a 
cable.
