Ah The HUGE Old IBM S 360 Mainframe Computer. 😍🥰📼📇💻🖥⌨🤖🕰⏰⌛🗝

Well Now, Always Remember, Superdavebeastula The Tall White Gothic Vampire Alien, Coming To You from Laval Quebec Canada. So. It Seems to Me we an old Mainframe in this photo. My Digital Host, David, and found this somewhere on the web. Perhaps we have downloaded from Pinterest or another Social Media. Perhaps we did a Google Search on it. At any rate, taken from Gemini this was a family of mainframe computer systems announced by IBM on April 7, 1964, and shipped from 1965 to 1978. It is widely considered one of the most important computer platforms in history. This computer separated computer architecture from hardware implementation. This allowed customers to run the same software across a broad range of machine sizes. As you can see in the picture it used tape reels for data storage but that wasn't the only thing. It introduced and heavily relied on removable magnetic disk drives (early hard drives) alongside other direct-access storage devices. While magnetic tape drives were widely used for backups, archiving, and sequential batch processing, this one was designed around disk storage for fast, random-access data retrieval. This basically was a technological breakthrough. Thankyouverymuch. 😍🥰📼📇💻🖥⌨🤖🕰⏰⌛🗝
