Read an article in the local paper, Ottawa Citizen,
about the
IBM 360 turning 40 today.
I remember it well. Went to work in Poughkeepsie (operations then
industrial engineering) in 1964. We were running 360 emulation on an IBM
7030 computer (Stretch)
Interesting read, they claim that
in today's dollars, the total effort cost something like
$30 BILLION :-)
They sure weren't paying us much at that time.
