Hi Peace, I can top that! from 1985-1991 I was CFO for a Baltimore Bookbindery called Bindagraphics. They had an IBM system34 and a state of the art IBM PCjr 640K, yes that is K of ram and a 10mb hard drive! And of course it took the big black 5.25 floppies. It took forever to fill those drives up. The only financial software package was Symphony, from lotus developement, If you wanted anything else, you had to program it in RPG! Man they were the good ol days! when a hard drive for tht Sys34 weighed 50POUNDS and stored a wopping 10MB, at a cost of $35,000.00. Thanks for the pleasant flashback. Best John
