Blockbuster's Distribution Center in Dallas went live on the AS/400 with
J.D. Edwards World Software 2.1 on January 2, 1990.  I should know, because
I was working there at the Dallas site as a consultant at the time.  This is
not hard for me to remember, since I worked _all_ night on January 1, 1990,
getting ready for go-live the next day.  They did not use S/38 prior to the
AS/400.  I believe that they were using a VAX.

The Distribution center is now located in McKinney, Texas, still running on
the AS/400.  The Ft. Lauderdale office went live on JDE financials at about
the same time.  It is now located in downtown Dallas, AFAIK.
