Ah WSU!

Back in those days our IBM rep (he later became
a branch manager) told us that the System/32 with
its single diskette, tiny hard drive and mini-display
was the height of computing. When I asked if IBM was
going to come out with a multi-user system, he gave
me the standard IBM line of "who would need a multi-
user system when the 32 is the best system?"...
I think they introduced the System/34 a month later.

Back to writing OCL and doing a few 96 col card sorts.

Regards

Konrad
