Somebody gave us a few 3290's many moons ago but not the 3174

a major contributor to TN3270 conversion. The fact that IBM held the cash
cow so long-think they were still charging $1400 for a 20MB hard drive when
commercial 60 GB were under a $100US.
On the other hand, we used our 3290's and 3174's for better
than 20 years with no problems. We seem to replace PC's about
every 3 years (though that may not be required :-) ).
