And it's probably not even a discrete computer -- it looks like a terminal for the IBM 360 system. Just a terminal and it's got like twelve cubic feet of circuitry (and fans, cables, etc.) and it probably weighs about half a ton and has to be brought into the room on a palette by a three-man work crew.

Today, its entire functionality could probably be emulated with a small iPhone app.; March 4, 2012 at 9:47 AM
