It's an irritating slideshow, with captions cut off until you click
"see more" for each, but at a quick glance it's not too bad. Though
it does omit Future System!
You may have a browser issue. I clicked "see more" on the first page,
and that option remained for succeeding pages.
I had a couple of minor quibbles (first machine I started on was a 709,
and the 7090/94 had an option how the index registers were treated; some
of the software mentioned for the 3081 was available as early as OS/360;
and MVS proper will not run on current machines due to architectural
differences - IPL in BC mode, different I/; etc.)
