Subject: RE: BS: Obsolete in your lifetime?
Actually, I should say that the FORTRAN IID was for an IBM 1620, which didn't even work in binary arithmetic, and has part of the memory dedicated to look up the answers for adding and multiplication. But it was the supercomputer in The Forbin Project as it had a lot of buttons and flashing lights and a hunky dial on the control panel.
