Someone talk about mainframes.
I just got a cheap DVD the old 1983 "Brainstorm" and besides being a good
"wires everywhere" type of movie, it is a great way to recall old tech.
There are suitcase terminals, test equipment everywhere, oh yeah, and I
think I spotted both the consoles (only, sorry to say) from an IBM 1620
and maybe a 360 towards the center of the lab. Will go back over it in more
detail in the not so far future.
Hope that helps,
