They used them internal around '83 when they
went to a Rand Editor
and some *Roff based formatting for their office automation. The
motto for the IT move to desktop Unix was "Paper Free in '83."
Soon PC's and laser printers killed any hope of "paper free" as the
staff spent way too much time chosing fonts for BS memos.
There was a saying many years ago, from someone whom I've long
forgotten: "I'll believe in the paper-less office when I see the
paper-less toilet".
