The System/32 is a single user minicomputer marketed by IBM in the mid- to late 1970s. It was used primarily by small to midsize businesses for accounting applications. RPGII was the (main) programming_language for the machine.
The computer looked like a large office desk with a very small display. The machine had a built-in printer that directly faced the operator when (s)he sat down. SEU, DFU, OCL, and #LIBRARY are some terms associated with the S/32.
Because the System/32 was introduced in 1975, it earned the nickname "Bionic Desk" from the popular TV show The Six Million Dollar Man.
