How hard was it to migrate from a 7070 to a 7074? From a 7090 to a
7094? From a Burroughs B5000 to a B5500? From a CDC 1604 to a 1604A to
a 3600 to a 3800? From a GE 625 to a 635? From a UNIVAC 1107 to an
1108? What was new in the S/360 was that it was aimed at both the
business and the scientific users.
