It's nice to see that VS/9 is not forgotten, but this article does seem to be a rather arbitrary selection of items. However what leads me to make an entry here is that the very first line is clearly in disagreement with other articles in Wikipedia, particularly the articles on the Univac 90/70 and on the RCA Spectra and on TSOS. They all date the handover of TSOS from RCA to Univac as being in the early 70s. The Univac 90/70 article says quite precisely "So, in January 1972, Sperry officially took over the RCA base." That accords with my own memory.

So I recommend that "during the late 1960s" in the first line be changed to "from the mid 1970s". Rjla (talk) 03:36, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
