I'll bite, Walter.   I'm one of those users who were first introduced to 
Profile on Xenix, in
mid-1985, on a model 16 HD, eventually connected via modem to 
barcode-reading
model 100s in 2 satellite stores.   My boss didn't lay out for the 
sturdy steel
furniture, but I was perfectly happy with the  exact presswood pieces 
you mention above.
Fun times to be a new CSE graduate, having studied mostly on Honeywell 
Multics,
and to get my mind further molded on Xenix - a precursor to 30 years of 
Profile/Filepro
programs running on every version of **ix since then.
