I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Uncle, I am an IM. I was told I would get JPA, HRMS, MFMIS and of course Microsoft. I was not asked what I wanted. I didn't want JPA and of course we don't get MFMIS and EAMS is not compatible. Besides EAMS needs a 2Gb pipe and I have 256k. I did ask for a floppy drive and got one of those.

At least it boots faster than Dii/c.

Latest news, you can keep Dii/c as well but is will cost £500 per month.

One bit of kit was only bought and fitted for Dii/c a year ago. We are swapping out old CRT VDU for LCDs on our other kit and will give Atlas the old crap.

Why do I need a floppy drive? Well we had some pre-Dii/c kit but it was never cleared for Dii. This means I can do virtually what I like with it including running some bespoke software that is also incompatible with Dii/f. However I need to swap docs between the 2.
