I was inventorying equipment at my most recent job, and found a room
with a PS/2 model 80 and an IBM (not Lexmark) 4019 laser printer -
exactly the same combo I started my IT career on in 1991.

Apparently they were keeping it around as a restore target for an old
backup tool they still had in production.

If they had a model M, those clunky IBM mice and an 8514 monitor, I
would have set it up on my desk.



... Am I any closer to finding what I'm looking for?
