- I am on the 4th floor of our building watching our Christmas Present
- arrive. It's in a huge Allied moving van, there is a truck towing
- a six wheel trailer with a fork lift on it, and a very large crane
- set up along side our building. The present is a IBM 3090 model 400E
- (that's from memory, so may have a few numbers wrong). Anyway, we are
- upgrading our current 3090 processor with a much larger one. Our
- computer room is on the third floor. They remove a section of the
- building (intentionally built that way) to lift new mainframe from
- ground to building. Kind of exciting as when the crane lifts the
- platform looks like its going to come thru my window.....but guess
- the operator knows how to run that crane. Will be interesting to
- see how things run next week ...that's when new CPU is supposed to
- be running..

- Peace,
- Don
