Absolutely, Kat! I used to work at an international online library
services company and we had a hundred thousand square feet of
raised-floor space filled with Tandem, Xerox Sigma, Data General and
370-series machines--with all of the associated tape drives, printers,
consoles, disk drives with removable packs. So much stuff that the
building didn't need a boiler system to keep it warm in the winter, but
man did we have some huge chillers on the roof! From what I hear,
they're only using about 10% of the floor space.

Life sure was a lot simpler then! Program cards, dumb terminals, 150
bps modems, wordstar, PRIMOS, etc etc. Anyone remember Honeywell,,
Wang, or Osborne?
