Boy does this sound familiar lol. This is from "The Soul of a New Machine" on the Data General's first 32-bit machine in the late-70s/early-80s #retrocomputing goodreads.com/book/show/7090…

@Emmanuel Florac Yep I just finished it! Growing up the accounting department in my family's company had a DG machine in mini computer form factor. I doubt it was the MV/8000 but I'm not sure what it was at this point. I wish we had donated it and other now-classic computer stuff to someone but it was just huge junk (that still ran).
