Read an article in the local paper, Ottawa Citizen, about the
IBM 360 turning 40 today. Interesting read, they claim that
in today's dollars, the total effort cost something like
$30 BILLION :-)

The picture in the paper was interesting, because the front panel
is the exact same one that I have in the basement...

Cheers,
