I was a Wang system administrator from late 1989 - ca. 1996. I worked for a US Air Force civil engineering organization from 1989 - 1992 when I retired from the Air Force. For 10 months I worked as a Wang sysadmin for the US State Department before I went back to the Air Force as a civilian. I had lots of fun with, first a Wang VS-100, then 2 VS-100's linked in a resource sharing facility (kind of a cluster - and boy, was it a cluster!), then a VS-7310 just before I retired. (As a matter of fact, one of my retirement gifts was a clock made from one of the platters of a 288MB disk pack that I had crashed.) At the State Dept, I worked with 3 VS-5000's and a VS-6000. Ah, yes a Wang!
Now, for word processing: I used the Wang word processing program and I also supported people that used PeachText on a Zenith Z-100 (or Z-150) computer. I touched the original Word Perfect but found all the 'dot' codes cumbersome (I guess I didn't use it enough...). |
