I would. That's a beautiful machine.
In fact, for a number of years, I ran a newer water-cooled IBM machine
continuously.

Hi
That sounds better. I couldn't imagine someone wanting to
power up a 3081. Between water cooler and motor generator,
it used more than $20K USD a month in electricity.
We also had a couple 43?? computers as well. These were
waste high and about as long as a couch. I think these were
also water cooled. From:

I certainly can use a 3088 or two.
I've never seen one, though. How big are they?

Hi
I never saw a 3088 but I did see a 3081. As I recall, it was about
16 full height racks layed out like a cross except it had two cross
bars. There were a lot of changes between these models.
