I never played  Smoke on the Water on mainframe core memory,
you must be thinking of somebody else.  Pete?   The beads
hurt my teeth.  Was I doing it wrong?

We played our music on the line printers. Worked well with the 1400LPM 
models.  That was after we printed out fascimiles of the Playmate of the month using 
X's and O's and a few other characters.  Of course, when the Commodant of the 
Marine Corps complained to the press that he "didn't understand why we have 
1400 LPM printers; no one can read 1400 lines per minute", we pretty much 
abandoned the whole thing and went back to playing "After the Ball was Over" on our 
Abaci.
