Here's What Happens When an 18 Year Old Buys a Mainframe
Connor Krukosky is an 18-year-old college student with a hobby of collecting vintage computers. One day, he decided to buy his own mainframe...an IBM z890. This is his story.
Connor's presentation "I just Bought an IBM z890 - Now What?" was featured at SHARE in San Antonio in March 2016.

Re: Here's What Happens When an 18 Year Old Buys a Mainframe
We attempt to compile and run a simple FORTRAN program on our vintage 1959 IBM mainframe computer at the Computer History Museum. FORTRAN is a big stretch for this business oriented machine, with 16k memory and a CPU not meant at all for scientific applications. Even integer multiply and divide instructions are an optional feature on the base machine! Success not guaranteed.

Re: Here's What Happens When an 18 Year Old Buys a Mainframe
This politically incorrect one is going to lose me the precious few female followers left on my channel. But for the good of academic research, we were asked to run the program "Edith" on the vintage 1959 IBM mainframe at the computer history museum. Which goes on to prove that the more technology evolves, the more things stay the same. And I forgot how to pronounce the alphabet in German.
