Years ago, when the Toronto Stock Exchange was at 234 Bay St., they had
a FP 6000.  While I didn't work on it, some of the equipment I worked on
was connected to it.  Incidentallt, the Wikipedia article I linked to
also mentions the Air Canada reservation system.  I worked on a later
incarnation of it, which ran on a Collins 8500C system.
