    You can run a Cray, a cyber, all the DEC, General data machines, big IBM iron, most of the 70's era

    I'm 57 and worked as an operator on Portland State's IBM 1130 system in 1975.
    The 1130 I worked on had 16 KW of core and two 5 MB disk drives.
    I ran APL from the console, breaking the selectric mechanism with a broken type ball and pissing off the CE.
    FORTRAN, RATFOR and applications on 80 Col cards in batch mode were the style of the day.
    If you had UNIX running on an 16 bit 64KW 1130, I'd love to see any proof.

    I also collect and restore antique computers.
