[Tig] More memories please

Hey Dean,

I beleive the machine I was working on was a CGB2.  It
was in Paris France, and I am pretty sure it was the
only one in the whole country.  No one could read the
manual, so luckily I got the job.  I did decifer the
manual after making some long distance calls to New
Jersey.  This would have been 1987 approximately. 
Lots of fun.
