 My first corporate IT job was in 1991 at a home/kitchen retailer, they
 ran their operations on a S/36 and 2 AS/400s. We used IBM PS/2 model
 80s running OS/2. I recall an 8 inch floppy drive and floppy disks in
 the server room.

 The weird thing was that I took a job in local government in 2017, and
 in the server room was one last AS/400 with an IBM PS2 model 80 running
 OS/2 that they used to to local tape restores. Serious Deja Vu.
