The first "computer" I ever used was a Wang OIS 140.
It had been installed in my father's office and he took me in to see it one day. After going through a three-week (!) course on how to use it he taught me how to use it and I probably submitted the first word-processed book report in the history of my school.
I have very fond memories of that 200lbs behemoth.
- johnblood 4y agoVery cool. Glad you have good memories.
