Now be fair, that wasn't considered a supercomputer then or now. Of course here's
where semantics come in. Accepting that Stretch was the first, and the first surviving is
likely to be a Cray1, who has one working? TNMOC has a 90s air cooled Cray model which is
operational, and an Altrix (not on display), but surely that's not the oldest. There
are a number of mainstream early systems like PDPs, 1401s, the Pegasus, etc. are out
there but they don't count. How about a large CDC or IBM?
