The poster left off the 1401 and the 1410. You could watch the panel on the 1401 and figure out what it was doing, or trying to do. If you watched closely and it was your program running, you could see where it hung up, too. The 1410 was a speed demon by comparison. The university had a 360, but those of us without standing couldn't do anything but watch it.

Vietnam, Newark riots, Woodstock.
