At my last job, fairly recently, the organization had phased out a
server room full of AS/400s. They had one remaining system remaining.

In the server room, they kept a system running to use as a local means
of testing and restoring individual tape backups.

It was an IBM PS/2 model 80, 13" CRT and a Model M keyboard running
OS/2. Connected to it was an IBM 4019 laser printer. IBM "pointing
device", a heavy 2-button mechanical mouse.

That was the exact system I'd used at my first job - in 1991!
