I also started in 1972 on point of sale systems at Victor Comptometer
Corporation. At the time we were a US manufacturing facility for Noxdorf
Computers. I didn't get into a Pick flavor until 1980 when I started
work at Prime Computers. I think at tat time Primos was 16 something and
Prime Information was around 4 or 5. It's been a long time.

I started on Microdata systems back in 1982. Same big 'ol "washtub"
drives,
1/2" reel tapes and Interrupt-Reset-Interrupt or
Interrupt-Reset-Clock-Interrupt paddle-switch sequences.
The first machine I worked on was a Microdata 1600 with 4 50 MB
Winchester
"washtub" drives. It ran 16 users on 64K of core memory. That was
back
in
1981.
Wow. You guys are really old.
