Seen in my calendar yesterday:
Jun 15 UNIVAC I delivered to the Census Bureau, 1951
70 years! And Unix has been around for nearly 52 of those years.
Amusingly, though, the next entry is:
Jun 16 First publicized programming error at Census Bureau, 1951
Which suggests that they were able to install the machine and getting
it running in only one day.
