Family business owned by my father (at the time). My mother had built a lot of business-related models for him on Mathematica running on her work workstation (a NeXTCube) . She passed away. I was the only person that understood anything about them so I was roped in to cope with them. A few years down the line the Cube (a 68030) became too slow and a succession of more powerful machines were purchased, up to a dual PentiumPro. It’s kind of an odd story, my use of ’work’ needed some explaining but I thought it would slow down the discussion to go off on a tangent lot narrate this story.
