Not mine, but speaking of early computers:
About 1970, i was in college and worked for a Property Mgt company that had six office buildings, downtown Seattle . One, the IBM Building, used most of the first floor for it's 4 computers. Elevated flooring to run cables, rooms enclosed in glass. IBM employees working the night shift wearing a white shirt and tie. Computer as big as a tractor....
All night long, cars pull up to the front door and couriers rush in with "punch cards".....Data is processed overnight and couriers come back in the morning for the reports......
Down in the parking garage, one of the IBM managers has a 300SL gull-wing......Early days of computing.........Happy times.
