How funny.
For the past several days, everytime I walk down the hall of my office to
go to the loo, I notice this odd looking computer in another company's
suite. I can only see the back of it, but I can tell it is not a PC
because it seems to have centronics ports on the back, although I only
catch quick glimpses because I'm walking by at my usual energetic clip.
Well tonight I stopped to gawk at it while the cleaning person had their
door open and sure enough its a Victor 9000. I look across the desk to
another computer and see a monitor with the "Victor" nameplate on it as
well. What a trip. Someone in my building is actually still using a
computer which I consider part of my vintage computer collection. I'm
going to talk to them and see what they are using on it. Must be some old
accounting or insurance or real estate or something application. I don't
know what their business is because their name is "Vanier & Associates" so
it could be a front company for an international arms smuggling operation
for all I know.
