Oh no you won't ;) I'll get a set of those new Michelin Zero Pressure
tires (ones which the TV ad shows a 3/4" hole being drilled in the sidewall
and the car driving away; 55 MPH for 50 miles... [howzat work anyway?])
You must have been tired at 23:08 when you wrote this :) It's an IBM 1130.
Since the 1130 is related to the 1800, I would like to lookup info on the
1800 machine. Any online leads?

Yeah man!
Where???????!!!!!!! I'll rent a tent and camp out at the place
which has one until either they get tired of it or that Y2K thing obsoletes
it. W. Donzelli would be camping right next to me I think.
No, I will be letting the air of your car's tires. Seriously, that would be, in my opinion, the most
excellent find! As I
mentioned, I have never heard of any around these days. They were, I
believe, not the typical mainline computers one would hear of in business
like the S/360's and S/370's. Weren't they more used in R&D and academia
because of their ability to handle number crunching not so much as
databases like a business application would?
I know little about 1103s, but they were indeed built for number crunching
for people that could not afford a big S/360. The 1103 is related to the
1800, used for process control (leading to the S/7).
