On April 7, 1964, IBM announced one of the largest and most expensive (USD 5 billion then, maybe 90 today) projects in corporate history: the System/360 (360 as in 360 degrees, covering every angle of life).
What was so unique about the 360 series of computers at the time was that they were all compatible general-purpose machines. Code that ran on the cheapest would run on the most powerful of these beautifully manufactured mainframes just as well — and vice versa. Allegedly, the same could still runs on IBM mainframe systems today.
