This was a great one! Yes, I remember the early days of computers. My job too. Dropped punch cards and magnets erasing floppy disks! This one made me laugh out loud!!
After college, my job was in California where folks were still working on typewriters. Moved to Georgia and they had these computers. I had loads of those floppy discs! And not attached to the side with a magnet!
Back in the day I worked at a computer company and shipped truckload of mainframes to sites like yours. And today my phone has more capacity than that computer room in your bank!
Ah yes, the early 1980s, we went through the same “future is here” drama. At our transportation company, we even built a new room for the UNIVAC computer, false floor, air conditioning pumping underneath and around it, the works. The conversion was a headache, but the worst fiasco was handling contractor pay. Let’s just say, not pretty. Funny thing is, all those massive machines are long gone. But Mary Mac’s Restaurant? Still alive and well!

During my tenure as a C&S auditor no doubt. Mr. Brown would be proud.
You and I may be the only one to remember Bennett Brown !
