Tower with wheels.  It's currently in a small server room with - get
this - sliding patio storm doors.  It's oddly enough sitting next to the
Microvax 3100 they're supposedly taking offline eventually - of course
that's hard to do when half the divisions in the Chicagoland area
still use it regularly. ;-)

"Our AS400 + Windows app will replace that clunky old Vax."
Sure it will...sure...  "We'll be up and running in a year."
Uh-huh...and it's, what, three years later?
Sometime I just don't understand that mindset.  They are in financial
trouble and they're pushing through the installation of an app that
runs on proprietary hardware and is costing them far more than
teaching their employees to properly use the system they have _that
does the same things exactly_.
