I loved the old days when computers were furniture.
My first computer to ever see in person was a Compugraphic 7770 that my
grandfather had in his micro-fiche and printing company in NJ.

For those interested, I just picked up a Wang
1200 Word processor. I have the trip story and some pictures at:

What a fascinating system...a dedicated word processor with hardcopy-only
output and cassette storage! Do you know anything about its architecture, or how the
cassettes are formatted? I'd love to explore one of these.
