Now, the IBM machine you (or someone) should _really_ do is the IBM Stretch
(7030); although judged a commercial failure at the time, in retrospect it's
clearly one of the most ground-breaking designs of all time. (In fact, I have
a hard time coming up with other machines with the same level of
impact/influence, in terms of CPU internal architecture. Maybe Atlas, or the
801?)
