2617s I believe. Had a couple of the r2d2 lookalikes. Had to cause one was
always down. (or was it 2607?) In any case our CE hated them... seeing as
we almost assigned him a desk since he was out to visit them so often. They
did kick out those reports from that ol' series II/III nicely though.

I still have a 2608S sitting around (unplugged but still works). It makes a
memorable "Hummmmmm" when it kicks in.
