It shows their commercial computers (I didn't know they had a sort
of networking in 1955, they remotely duplicated punched cards for
orders, inventory etc) and the 650, but also the 701. It is also
interesting what people wore to work on those days. But then again,
I only stopped wearing a tie to work around 2010 or so, probably
later than most people.
IBM was known as the grey-suit brigade into the early 90s.
Compared to people that worked at Atari? Night and day? ;^)
