My uncle's company used to have a System/36, predecessor to the AS/400. It was the size of a large refrigerator turned on its side. I think it had 256K (yes, K) of RAM and 200 megabytes of HD. It had roughly 12 terminals and a couple of huge line printers. Interesting stuff.

In the 90's, they replaced it with a bunch of networked PC's.
