Re: Multi-Mate WP on an Olivetti 386 in the 80s

A riff on that thought ... In early-mid 1981[1] I was working for Bigger Blue when the PC-DOS 0.98 beta & original IBM PC came out in pilot build ... everyone in the Glass House looked at each other and said "WTF is IBM thinking? Thank gawd/ess it can't do networking!" ... The rest, of course, is history.

[1] I can't remember the exact month, but it was raining. Naturally.
