Wang

For those of you confused by Kevin's birthday e-mail to Eric, here is what you need to know so you you aware that Kevin wasn't a. being politically incorrect, b. referring to a former CarryOn employee or c. just being weird. This info is courtesy of Amy K:

The Wang Word Processing System was an early system, developed in 1972, which used magnetic tape cassettes to store documents, and used a standard typewriter. CRT screens were added about five years later. The WPS, introduced in 1976, was a CRT-based word processor with disk storage for four thousand pages and a 350 word-per-minute letter quality printer.
