Right. After all, the 370 was the machine series of the seventies. Frankly, I have yet to read one of these Shark Tank stories that seemed like more than an amusing fairy tale. I have only read a couple, but none of them rang ver true.

We had 2 Mib at the Technion in 1973, and I'm sure that places like NASA Goddard had more, to say nothing of the tri-ASP 195 complex at Suiteland and the intelligence facilities in Maryland and Virginia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
