classic IBM film. If you lived in San Jose in the 60s and 70s, you will recognize much of the film.

  • Fabulous video. Thanks for posting. My father started working at the San Jose plant (General Products Division, Cottle Road) in 1959 and retired in 1993 working at the Santa Teresa Laboratory (now Silicon Valley Laboratory) as a software development engineer. What's so great, is this video captures the huge plant site that once was and is now gone.

  • 4:08 bouncing like my gramma's titties!!

  • @douro20 This wasn't at Almaden. This was the Santa Teresa site. The site is now owned by Hitachi. Much of it is gone now, including the water storage ponds. But some of those characteristic multi-colored tiled buildings are there still on the Hitachi campus and the new Lowes built on part of the site also has a similar exterior motif. There's a new public park now there appropriately named Ramac.

  • Don't know.

  • and where can I buy some???

  • .... One year ago  ....

  • Iron oxide.

  • The IBM 305 RAMAC was so revolutionary that it completely changed the way computers were built.

  • It was going to be a temporary lab, but the Almaden Research Center still exists.

  • wow, just fascinating to watch those vintage documentaries

    IBM- keep it up
