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

Compiles took forever though...I remember starting a

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.

GWBASIC on my friend's Tandy DOS PC was the first thing to turn me
onto coding, we were in middle school having a sleepover. It led to a
whole thing including my major in college, and the reason I'm here.
Takes me back.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
