Back in the day, the company where this pilot fish works has part of its operations on a mainframe — and mostly that fine.&The start of the month — running reports from the prior month — was the busiest time,& says fish.
&Fortunately, there was enough capacity that only at month-end did the system hit its limits, and sometimes not even then, if things were spaced out a bit.But then some system engineers decide to cut the capacity of the system by half and sell off the units making up the excess capacity.
They call this a win-win: The company will rake in some money, and the system will be utilizing more of its capacity more of the time.
