I recently re-found my Fortran V Programming textbook from
c. 1973...and I quote:
"The IBM 360 may come with as much as a full megabyte of memory
installed; however, usual configurations range from 64 to 256
megabytes of resident memory"...
In fact, I didn't know they HAD gigabytes of HD space in the "Early
80's...!"
