We were installing an update on the iSeries and didn't want to camp out in
the computer room. So we aimed a camera at the console monitor and watched
from afar.

To prevent the console from going to sleep we used an Automatic Mouse

across the mouse. Air blowing up along the rack made the paper flutter,
keeping the session alive.
