We have someone close who works for Xerox today....although not in that Division....If need be, I could find out.

Yes, the large law firms did have Wang...then used IBM when the computers came out...but here, they used WordPerfect...many of the law firms still do... But the other types of businesses used Word, and most still do.

I'm very far behind on the thread today, so am coming in late...so please excuse if this is a repeat. My return to work job in 1972 used an IBM electric typewriter (tht's what they used to call them, as opposed to manual typewriter (heh)...extra long carriage ...typewriter. Selectrics weren't out yet...
