Reply to "Thunder Ranch build thread"

I worked for a major university health system at one point and helped design and install the first internet network there (still remember my arpanet ID). We surveyed a wiring closet used for 3270 terminals and it had a similar appearance to Gordon's data center subfloor. 

I asked how they knew which terminals were attached to which cable and the closet team said it had been that way when they were hired. They said they just started unplugging cables one-by-one and waited to see which nursing unit called the help desk...

Oh, the early days.
