We were running WfWg with Norton Desktop on top of it, too, at a company I
worked for in 1994.  Later that year I was with another company that was
using DOS machines and something that looked a lot like the shareware
program AutoMenu.  We did not have email, or internet, at either company.

Most machines we had at the second place were either used to do data entry,
to access the AS-400, or, in the case of the system I used the most, to run a
"Baby-36."  I think mine was one of the few machines that was not a glorified
dumb terminal.  We sneaker-netted everything between data entry, the AS-400
access machines, and the 36 on 3.5" floppies.  It was a pain in the rear
when one of those floppies crashed.  I think the D/E machines were 286's, as
were the ones that accessed the AS-400.

I was with that second company until 1996.  I think they had a one-page
website by then, that told people how to contact them (by phone or post).
We still were using the same machines and no email or internet.
