Re: For the old-timers out there

When I started with IBM in early 1967 DOS and TOS were contemporaries. I never remembered anything about TOS having been available before DOS. I started in the Chicago Distribution office and the Sears National Account was the tail that wagged the dog there. The Sears team, in order to
