Ordered first computer in 1986 through US Navy supply, expected a desktop. It took so long to receive it I forgot about ordering it but finally a phone call asking for a working party to carry it from pier determined it wasn't a desktop. Three pallets of 18" hard drives and two other pallets of associated gear including an Okidata tractor paper printer about 25" wide. That printer was a piece of work took about 2 hours per page. What a surprise I really got it together only to find that it required 18 hours to boot. It became an interesting artifact. |
