-----------------------

Seems to be European centrist. Left out the early IBM's, the early UNIVAC,
The early desktop Wang Computer.


There toward the end they have that little girl looking up at a
370/m155 and the picture before that has a 360/m20 and a string of
2401 tape drives but they are not credited as being IBM.



-----------------------

We replaced a 360/m20 at Macy's Calif in about 1966. Was a no mag file 360.
All card and paper tape. We replaced it with an NCR 315 with mag tapes.
Worked for NCR in those days. I could not believe that IBM could supply a
360 without tapes. (for the youngsters, was not disk drives as you know
them.)
