In the early 80's when I was in high school I was in a computer explorer post through the Boy scouts at a local major carrier insurance company using their IBM 370 to learn how to program in COBOL (ugh!!). All the terminals in the company would display their company logo on the screen(all were green phosphor monitors) any time whey weren't being used. There was no screen savers or automatic power off for inactivity. Every single crt in every terminal I saw while I was there had a burned in image of that logo. I remember that computer being huge and it had 40 hard disk drives attached to it. Each one was the size of a top load washing machine!! Now I have a little 8GB flash drive in my pocket that cost me $10 that can probably hold as much data as 3-4 of those washing machines combined if not more.
