I sure did like the old IBM better. Back in the late 1960s an IBM CE taught be about the innards of the IBM 1130 and the 360. It changed my life forever.

My first official I/T job was on an IBM 3083 (2 of them). We had a 370-158 for development. Tech school before that was leasing time on a 360 emulator.
