Happy computing

Real time sharing, not a 16K PDP 8?
What model of a 360? 8K sounds a lot like a Model 20, which the purists
may not consider to be a "real" member of the family.

The IBM Don Mills plant in Toronto built model 20s. I knew guys who
bought their houses with the overtime working on them. They had
accumulated a lot of engineering changes that had not been cut into
production, so they would be assembled and then there where teams that
would apply the engineering changes before the systems where shipped.
