I was an operator on Morgan Guaranty's IBM 360-135 in 1973 in the City of London. That monstrosity was brand new, so are you saying that the 360 model was 9 years old by then?

Hmmmm, When was I using the IBM 360? I think about 1964. Slide rules in
about 1954. Hell, I still have two operational Osborne CPM machines. I not only remember punch cards but also perforated paper tape. We had wonderful old analog devices with huge patch panels and wires everywhere. Things have
come a long way. /jim
