There is a recent TV serial named Manhattan. At one moment, they mentioned about their computers. I was thrilled. Then they showed a room full a women, doing computing, ie, calculations by hand. :-)
I started watching that series and remember that scene, but for some reason the network stopped showing it. Back then, IBM was the name in punch card data processing. They had punches, readers, sorters, calculators, printers and more, all based on those 80 column cards. Some of the more advanced calculators were approaching computers. https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/ibms-early-computers BTW, I used to work for IBM, doing 3rd level OS/2 support. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
