... which reminds of when our company at the time, went from "dumb" terminals to "smart" terminals, and half of the employees had at least one computer of some form or other at home, and all commented "why not a pc for the terminal keyboard?" - Blank stares from the mainframe guys that were all out of work less than a year later... Not that the mainframe was eliminated, just that higher-ups found out it didn't take 20 people to do the maintenance and support work... tic

That "luggable" there vienna, is what our "tech" guys carried around for their "test" machine, for troubleshooting all manner of computer issues in the office (which, btw, was not air-conditioned for the humans' comfort, but rather was set to 64 degrees for the computers, in an attempt to keep the room below 74 -fahrenheit, that is!). They even hauled it to "remote" locations across and out of town. At least, until it was accidentally dropped down a flight of stairs. It bounced a couple of times, but then broke into pieces...
