I am afraid to ask...  When did the first shipments of System/3, Model 6 go out 
the door?  February of 1971 is what my memory tells me, but then, my memory 
tells me lots of things.  I think it included a course in RPG programming 
called a "PID"?  It was programmed instruction.  Once the course was completed 
it was expected that a person could write programs for tasks like mailing 
labels and simple reports.
