Doing my Googling I ran across a Wikipedia article that says there's
still a Series/1 running some part of our nuclear arsenal. I'm not sure

Hmm. At the International Printing Museum (where I spend my Saturdays),
we routinely operate presses that are well over a century old, and
linecasting equipment that's nearly half a century old.
(And Ottmar Mergenthaler, the inventor of the Linotype, was using binary
codes to sort the matrices back in an era when a digital computer was a
guy counting on his fingers!)
