Anyway, Wikipedia can be used to get a quick handle on a topic, and an
easy link to the basics. But one needs to read the literature for a
more complete story.

I use Wikipedia references quite a bit as a quick overview of a subject
and even kick in during their fund drives. Something like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_5120

is non-controversial and accurate.

I think this is the system I first has a paying job programming. The
system I remember had 3 "partitions" that could run 3 different programs
simultaneously, and came with a DE/RPG II compiler, which I used
to write software for a Farmers Insurance agent.

Sure beat my previous job at Burger King! This was at the end of
High School, and a bit past graduation.

Compiles took forever though...I remember starting a
compile, setting a wind-up alarm clock, and napping
for 90 minutes while the thing cranked along at a snail's pace.
The printer would output each line it was compiling...maybe one
every 10 seconds, iirc. (This was 44 years ago!)

I don't remember the system having BASIC though.
