Hi, Gabe. I hear that the IBM Boebligin (Germany) lab has a nice S/360 museum. Have a good one, too. DJ On 07/24/2013 08:41 AM, Gabe Goldberg wrote: They're everywhere -- once I started looking for them. I knew about -- have toured -- Computer History Museum -- www.computerhistory.org/

Second this one. They have the other running 360/20 in the world. Lots of vintage gear. On Jul 24, 2013, at 6:09 PM, Dave Jones d...@vsoft-software.com wrote: Hi, Gabe. I hear that the IBM Boebligin (Germany) lab has a nice S/360 museum. Have a good one, too. DJ On 07/24/2013
