hello, in the 1980ties my system "of choice" was an atari st and my schools computer was a VAX 11/730 running VMS 4.x ... later 2 of them in a DECnet - had some fun with them :)) but a friend of mine was an admin for an IBM AS400 and out of curiosity i visited him from time to time and "looked him over his shoulder" as we say in german during updates and similar tasks ... was a nice and very stable system back then ... it had a small hdd - can't remeber its size - and the updates came on floppies with 8 inches if i remember it correctly ... 4 or 5 of them at a time - around 120 k each ... laughable by today's standards, but afaik pretty common for a small to medium sized business back then - a travel agency. cheers v.
