 pF> At one point, the server room had a handful of AS/400s running in there

 pF> keyboard, one of those 2-button IBM mice from the '90s, and an 8515 CRT
 pF> monitor. IBM 4019 laser printer. Running an older version of OS/2 with a
 pF> tape drive attached. It was kept in use to verify and restore files from
 pF> the AS/400 backup system.
