Spelling error on my part, but it did make for an interesting pun.

I can't define Normal. I'm intested in hearing all opinions of what is
the oldest comptuer still in "normal" use. From there I'll make my own
personal decision of which I feel provides the best answer. That doesn't
mean anyone else has to consider my choice to be valid.

I'd accept the government, and actually I rather expected the answer to
be some government system.

That was the other place I figured the best answer might turn up. Some
kind of factory automated system that still uses its orginal systems
simply because its working so has no reason to be replaced.
