Tandy/Radio-Shack 6000 "multi-user" with XENIX
Tandy/Radio Shack 6000 with Z80A and 68000 processors, 15 MB hard drive and XENIX (version? Dunno) with 4 users at the same time!
This was a Pizza/Bar/Grill I was a the resident "fill-in for anything" employee. I usually had to help the manager fix his term, and show the new employees how to punch-in on the system. Orders were also punched in on this horribly hard to use system.
That 15MB Hard Drive held enough to keep records for 18 MONTHS!
I also got to help everyone time and time again how-to operate the levers on the Tallgrass Tape Drive. (At least I believe it was a Tallgrass Tape Drive, if it wasn't... I guess I don't remember properly)
This was High School, being 16-18 years old at the time. They actually put the system in while I was working there. It was PAINFUL, until everyone understood the system.
If you wanna count other stuff, in Middle School, I made an indexing program/system on a Commodore PET, with the 9" Display!!!! The Librarians loved it and spread it to all the other libraries in the school system. Soon, all the programs in all the books were available on tape... using my indexing setup (in Basic No Less)
I never considered Writing Basic, programming... infact I still don't.
