The 15D with CCP was the cat's meow. I don't know why everybody is so
excited about dynamic partitioning. We had that (sort of) on the 15D.

Dang and I thought I was old I started on a Sys/3 model 8 (might have
been 10? it was a LONG time ago). I thought it was cool when I went
to a 15D with CCP!!!!

Nope...garden variety RPGII and a VERY small screen.

DFU was VERY popular on this machine. Most folks
were "just" starting to learn how to work with screens
at this point.

The 3741 key to disk was also still around at this point.

The S/3 had some screens but the S/34 became the first
all interactive machine with NO punched cards.
We thought we had really hit the big time.

If I remember right there was as System/32 that used a flavor of RPG
where the screen specs were in the same source as the code and I think
they were listed first. The A may have designated user Access.
