| 656002 | 2008-04-04 07:20:00 | It looks like it was a Sperry Mainframe Well, when you logged into it, it wasnt colour originally. It was just a terminal and a monitor / printer And every court and probation office / and probably police station had one / or a few of them. But before it went defunct, it was used on modern pcs, and you used to access it with a script. From within windows. I think it was moved up to Mt Wellington. It was later changed to L.E.S (Law enforcement system). I was one of its users / operators from 1990 till it was decomissioned |

| 656004 | 2008-04-04 07:32:00 | Umm nope wouldnt have a clue, since it wasnt based in any office. Besides where it was situated in Mt Wellington. Noone who was an operator actually saw what it looked like. Or how big it was / or its capacity It probably ran on tape not hdd But I know it stored a hell of a lot of information on it |
