IMHO the IBM 1130 introduced in 1965 is an early if
not the first
minicomputer. To quote the 1965 IBM announcement: "The desk-sized 1130
is designed for individual use by engineers, scientists and
mathematicians. But with its range of peripheral units, the 1130 also
will be used in such fields as publishing, construction, finance,
manufacturing and distribution."
...but not the 1620?
