   The teacher that teached RPG on the AS/400 in 1989 used to work on an 360.

   from the way she talked, a lot of parts houses still used the 360 at the

   time we was taking the classes (1989-1992).

   I ran OS/2 before when they darn near gave it away.  OS/2 2.1, the version

   you use your own windows 3.1 to run with it... Stupid in a way, because

   it only needed 1 disk from windows 3.1 to verify you had it, beyond that,

   it installed the rest of windows 3.1 from their disk...
