I visited McAuto in the day, 1972, when they had Dual 168's and about 20
or so 158's on the
top floor, Dasd on the second floor, and the basement full of printers
and 360/40's. It was
not that noisy, but definitely busy. They had the stick man walking the
dog program running
on the console lights of one of the 168's.
