... do you have one of these?

Hi…

This is a ‘hello, world’ for the IBM 1401 (from http://cplus.about.com/)

,008015,022029,036043,050054,055062,063065,066077/333/M0762502F1.HELLO
WORLD

This is a self loading card for the IBM 1401 that you run by
putting the card in the reader and hitting START.
The program will print HELLO WORLD, eject the page, and halt.

Hi…

Some other examples…

IBM 709 was only $55,200.00/month to rent! Who did afford that?

Hey… I worked on one looking much like that (and with similar specs).
Wasn’t IBM though - it was some original russian design, called M220. Made
from individual transistors, memory on the ferrite solenoids, etc…

:wink:
