In article <3217@garth.UUCP>, fouts@garth.ingr.com (Martin Fouts) writes... | Life was so much easier when I was young. | ... | Some US machines which were considered supercomputers in their time, | but aren't anymore, include the IBM 7090 (Stretch,) which may have | been the first... You're still young (lucky you), young enough at any rate to know that Stretch was the IBM 7030, which predated the 7090. Its design is the subject of an excellent book "Planning a Computer System", edited by Werner Bucholz. Last time I looked at it, it wasn't dated, and it's superbly readable. ---Pete kaiser@cheese.enet.dec.com DEC, 2 Mt. Royal Ave. (UPO1-3), Marlboro MA 01752-9108 508-480-4345 (machine: 617-641-3450)
