They did. New computer replaced it. It was also a bit tight in the room itself. Maybe they had a sledge hammer party. Although I doubt it. Not a lot of room to swing the thing.

Several years ago, I visited a bank to assist in performing a security
audit. Everybody knew QSECOFR password. Only one person knew LAN
administrator password.........


Computer was on lower level. In same room was an S/36. Only way out
was a spiral staircase. I keep wondering how they got the newer
computer down there. They referred to it as "AS/400". And, why they
left the S/36 there.

Another of life's mysteries.....

I recall windows being taken out of a 4th floor data center to get a
new AC unit delivered. It almost did not make it, talk about a tug-of-war.
And when moving a S/38 down the hall we had to stand it on end to get
around a corner.
