Yes it's crazy. But you always work on your closest contacts. And once you nail the solution for a contact, then you don't have to pay him much mind anymore, until he changes course or speed.

But yes, it is organized chaos. I'm pretty sure that it's a bit different now. Computers can probably do all the manual stuff pretty easily now.

But back in the 80's that's how it was done.

The shocking thing was I expected 688's to be marvels of modern technology, only to find out our laptop computers were more powerful than the ones running our fire control stations.
