Re: MAPICS Old Fogies (was "mapics 6")

Nathan,

Well, the 5364's had a PC built into 'em somehow, or so I was told.  /34's,
big /36's, and /38's all had diskette magazines, we got to feed diskettes in
in bulk.

Who remembers being proud of their shiny new 3411 tape drive attached to
their /38?  Our engineering department had a Data General MV/8000, and we
got to rub their noses in the fact that we had a "fast" tape drive while
they were still messing with swapping out removable disk packs all the time.

P.S. We may be getting slightly off topic, but I don't mind if y'all don't.
It's nice to see a little traffic on the list.
