This is true. When I was in college in the 70¹s, we toured the air traffic control center in Indianapolis. They had a large number of s/360 systems with huge amounts (then) of additional memory; so much so, that to shorten electrical paths, one memory cabinet for each system was hung from the ceiling over the CPU.
We asked them at that time why they hadn¹t converted to s/370 boxes, and the response was ³Because this works; Why change it?² -- .~. Robert P.
