RE: IBM Maintenance Withdrawal -- MIDRANGE-L

An '010' ?   Next someone is going to claim to be old enough to remember
an '001'  - or would they have started with an '000' ?    :-)

I think there was a 1401 card reader on my first S/3 !

At my first two jobs I remember the THINK sign hanging on the wall.
Maybe if these signs were still hanging around in
EDP/MIS/IT/Title-of-the-week departments we wouldn't be seeing all these
lemmings rushing to jump on the NT bandwagon !   
(He says, as he ducks under the desk - no replies necessary !)   :-)
