Computer pioneers and National Medal of Technology awardees Erich Bloch,

the extraordinary System/360 project. Heralded by Fortune Magazine in 1965

provides a behind-the-scenes view of the tough decisions made by some of the
people who made them. Learn how the System/360 helped transform the
government, science and commercial landscape.
