A 1981 television ad for Wang Laboratories that lets you know the future is at your fingertips.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Gotta love WC! Was on the team that deployed Wang PCs when 6A went desktop back in the day. Great at the time unit that eventually got crushed by IBM and others.

CPT (Join to see) Before I was drafted in 1969 I operated an RPC 4000 for a CPA who used it to do his clients reports. It had a paper tape reader to start... then cards... then magnetic reel to reel. In my mind it was so much bigger that what this picture shows. If you go ahead & click on it it will show up.

CPT (Join to see) - I was just starting to train as a programmer right before I left... I believe it was Fortran... but wouldn't swear to it.
