In the early 1990s I worked in IT for a law firm in Seattle that had a Wang system. I wish I could remember what it was, other than a "Wang VS." It had development as well as distributed word processing capabilities (my boss programmed in Speed 2 on the Wang). To me, the most memorable part of the system was doing backups on removable, multi-platter disk packs.
I was actually hired to help move the firm from Wang to a Novell network. My boss never really liked PCs, and was eventually let go due to his attitude.
I never used a Wang computer, but wow, those commercials are incredible!
