A whole heck of a lot of mainframe type stuff.  A bud of mine works at a local
office of a huge petroleum company, and they still have a DG Eclipse.  I was
talking about that book "The Soul of a New Machine" and he said that theirs was
still in production.  Wow.  I'm sure that they're busily offloading it to a more
y2000-compliant system (maybe it's always been y2k compliant?  You never know).

Sometime in the middle of '73 (I don't remember the early years very well).  
Yeah, I'm young.  So sue me.
