RE: Thats all folks!

Nice work Jim :-)

Yep, I had heard at one time that Farm Bureau was one of THE biggest
S/36 "shops" with one in every office in the US (i.e. 100's and 100's).

And the S/34 (what I started on) is missing too :-)

According to IBM's Archives history at:
http://www-1.ibm.com/ibm/history/history/decade_1900.html and select the
specific decade then walk thru the years (searches for me did not work)

S/360 - 1964
S/360 mod 25 - 1967
S/3  - 1969
S/7  - 1970
Series/1- 1976
S/38 - 1978
PC   -  1981
S/36    -  1983
PC-XT -  1983
AS/400 - 1988
eSeries - 1997

I know that the S/38 was announced then not shipped til later, as there
was a delay while the CPF was re-written to make it faster, but I still
worked on one in 1981 so I know it was out by then.  I could not locate
the S/32 anywhere.
