<blush> Yes, the first seven! </blush>

But as I remember (correct me if  I'm wrong), there was at least 
three more 'monsters': 

The 0620 INTERPRETER 
and the CALCULATOR (can't remember modelno.) 
and also the 1401 CARDREADER.

Btw: At that time, IBM delivered a nice badged to be hanged 
on the Wall, with the text:

        T H I N K

(compliments of *IBM* corporation)

I know - I'm looking at it now (as I do every day) !!!:)
