      <![CDATA[Our local IBM sales office used to sponsor a data-processing Explorer post and would let us take the smallest System/3, a Model 6 if memory serves, to public expos. The thing had a console with keyboard, line printer, monochrome monitor, and two disk drives with sealed disk cartridges about 18" in diameter that probably held something like 256kb. It must have weighed a thousand pounds.<br />
<br />
We'd crank out copy after copy of Mona Lisa <a href="http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/asciiart/" rel="nofollow">ASCII art</a> for booth visitors. Ooo! Computing!<br />
<br />
(ca. late 1970s)
