Old Computer and PC Brands

Intergraph, anyone remember them? Our office had a couple of these CAD stations when I first started.

I remember doing work experience at an engineering design company, when I was 14. I spent a week using CAD software to design/redesign structures for offshore platforms. They had 22/24” flat screen crt monitors, when offices normally had 14/15”. Each designer had two of them - they were huge and very heavy, needing extremely large and sturdy desks.

Never saw the setup above, but it totally brought back memories. When I finished my week, the company boss said as a reward for working hard, I could take home something from his office. Thinking asking for his PC would be bad form, I ended up with a sealed big box version of AutoCAD and Turbo PASCAL. That rather cemented my initial future in computers and software dev. Good times.
