For instance, towards the end at 17:23 there is a mockup of a console with a slim white/black masthead. I have a high-res copy of that photo, and here is a the lower right corner detail enlarged: http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/data/500/IBM_System_360_mockup_enlarged.jpg You can see a chip out of the console panel that looks like particle board, and there are no cutouts for the button 'inserts' - they appear glued on. (By the way - I'm looking for a red INTERRUPT insert, red STOP insert and pearl POWER ON insert for my 360/40 console, if anyone can help :) Steve.
