This shows there inventory for computer manuals -- I only see the manuals
for the MCM System 900 on the list, but I remember seeing more someplace.
(Next time I'm in MN, I plan to do some serious photocopying :-)
Here's an article by the ACM's SIGAPL that specifically mentions the MCM
System 1000 in comparison to the IBM 5120 and includes the quote:
<<Some of the early MCM computers have gone into insurance companies for
actuarial work. They have been reported to provide considerable savings
compared to timesharing.>>
