i was brought into boeing hdqtrs summer of 1969 as part of helping get boeing computer services (BCS) up and running. they had machine room at hdqtrs (boeing field) with 360/30 for payroll and misc. other hdqtrs administration. It was built out to add a 1mbyte 360/67 for online (virtual machine) cp67/cms timesharing operation. The big datacenter was down at Reaton field ... that summer 360/65s were arriving faster than they could be installed (there were constantly parts of 2-3 360/65s in the halls around the machine room all that summer) ... and they were starting to replicate it up at the 747 plant in Everett. later I would sponsor Col. Boyd's briefings at IBM. His biographies has him in charge of spook base about that time ... claimed to be a $2.5B "windfall" for IBM (possibly $17+B inflation adjusted). old spook base reference (gone 404 but lives on at the wayback machine) http://web.archive.org/web/20030212092342/http://home.att.net/~c.jeppeson/igloo_white.html the claimed picture in the above of 2250s ... is obviously wrong my wife did stint in the G'burg JES group and was part of the catchers for ASP->JES3 product. She then was one of the JESUS (JES Unified System) authors ... all the features of JES2 & JES3, that customers couldn't live w/o, combined in single product. Never got past that stage because of the politics. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
