IBM System/360: The Computer of the Future!


The IBM System/360, the computer of the future, was a revolutionary new mainframe computer system first announced April 7, 1964 by International Business Machines Corporation (sometimes referred to as IBM, usually referred to as Big Blue), which was to be the first family of computers designed to cover the full range of applications, from small to large, both commercial and scientific. It was capable of performing the most minute tasks, like toggling, to the most advanced tasks, such as calculating the results of simple arithmetic.

As somewhat of a result of the System/360, we saw our first laptop PC, the IBM 5100, and almost started World War III.

DID YOU KNOW? IF YOU ADD UP THE NUMBERS FOR TODAY'S DATE, 04 + 07 + 2009, THE RESULT IS 2020? I DO, THANKS TO MY COMPUTER! THANKS, COMPUTERS!
