One partner I used to work with would always lament the current state of office technology, and longed for the days when the firm had only two -- count 'em, two -- IT support personnel.

The firm's computers ran on Wang, and they probably weren't designed to handle anything more complicated than a 4 page letter, but you could blow up a newspaper rack right next to 'em, and they'd still keep going.
