The first business system I worked on in my programming career was the Wang 2200.

Yes – I’ll wait for the laughing and snide remarks to die down…

It was the size of a suitcase and could handle up to EIGHT(!!!) 56K(!!!) terminal partitions. It started out with a large end-table-sized disk drive with one internal and one removable 5mb disk each. But I quickly was introduced to the engineering marvel of the DS disk drive – which held a whopping 5 internal and 1 removable 13(!!!)mb disk in a file cabinet-sized cabinet. The programming was done in BASIC-2, an interpretive language.

Good times…
