- Spooky23 2y agoThe magic were the old minicomputers. My wife ran a billing system that was a Motorola based AS/400. It was purchased in 1989/90. An ibm CE would drop by and swap parts every now and again when the computer phoned home. They retired it in 2013, when a key part for the printer was no longer available.
