19 01 eh?     
Wasn't that the year it was designed and the number they sold?

Hmmm ;D

IBM = It's Being Mended
ICL = It's Coming Later

I started my career on an IBM 360-30!

Clearing out a cupboard (more like a walk-in safe!) at Imperial Tobacco, we found an original Operating Manual for a Leo II.
Now that's old!! ;D

Kev, I had to wait for the 360/30.
In the meantime, (Singer)Friden System 10     
( Didn't that become the 10partition 1901/190x? when ICL merged with Singer? )

Majm,     
My wife operated a NCR33 and Post-tronic (spelling?)

My 2nd job was with a company called Sumlock Anita - who made and sold Anita Comptometers :D
I didn't work on them, but I was a programmer on Compucorp 400 Series Desktop Programmable Calculators.
Blimey how technology has changed!
