Many years ago I worked at American Electric Power in NYC. We had our engineering computer there and we ran WYLBUR and ROSCO. That was in the mid to late 70's, I think. We had billing systems in Canton, OH., but I don't know what they were using there.

Much better for an imperfect typist like me than the ancient keypunch machines that was the other alternative. I never heard of it being used in a commercial environment though.
