Gimbels used to have several stores in Milwaukee.  I don't know if they 
had a mainframe here in Milwaukee or not.  Five or ten years ago, they 
all became Boston Stores, which now is owned by Saks 5th Avenue.  They 
are in the process of being bought out by I think Bonton.  I know Saks 
used to have their datacenter at their downtown Boston Store in 
Milwaukee, but a few years ago they closed it and merged it into their 
Jackson Miss. datacenter.
