Interesting. The guy who's doing my taxes this year says he bought one in
the 70s for his business, but I'd never heard of them. He said it was a
piece of shit and he sued to return it. Even more interesting, he bought
it through Intel, who apparently did retail computer sales in the 70s.
Anyway, he's gonna look for the sales literature he saved from it, and I'm
gonna try to get it off of him.

Anyone ever
heard of a Data General machine from the 70s with the model
designation CS-20 or CS-30?
They're not machines, they're complete turnkey business systems. Micronova
based, as I recall, but I could be wrong. 16-bit COBOL, anyone?
I've actually got some marketing collateral for these systems around
here somewhere. I'll see if I can dig it up.
