  • Man, I wish I was around during the heyday of mainframes like this. I would love to say I was one of those guys who knew how to handle those beasts.

    Some people don't really understand how far we've really come in computing and technology to really appreciate it. Most just take it for granted.

    Thx for posting this vid.

  • Yes! Today all people, mostly kiddys, say that theirs computer is to slow. This makes me cry as a mechanic for computers. A lot of good computers are thrown into trash.
