This reminds me of the S38 days when a friend of mine rigged up a light
sensor and hung it in front of a 5250 screen. We then had a pgm that would
acquire the device and display reverse image blanks on the screen. We set
that up on a homegrown job scheduler for 7:00 AM and the hooked a coffee pot
to it. Fresh coffee every morning. You have to keep in mind that this was
before automatic coffee machines were very common. Worked like a charm.
