You're right, I think I saw one 1800 just before I left. It's too bad I
didn't save ANYTHING from those days. I may still have my papers showing
that I finished some of Burroughs schools but that's it. BTW do you
remember about a month ago I told about the guy that blindly reached up
inside a computer and stuck his hand into a fan in the power supply and cut
off the ends of a couple fingers? That was on a B 1700.
