Toot a photo of a computer that first arrived in the year of your birth!

(Here's mine: the IBM System/360)

Photograph of the front panel of an IBM System/360 mainframe—an adult person height red box about 1.5 metres deep, with a panel of blinkenlights and rotary dials (and some buttons). A desk sits in front of it, presumably for the operator's teletype printer.

I can't find a computer; the MINSK1 didn't arrive until a year later.
However, I lay claim to COBOL.

You _want_ to be blamed for the verbose monstrosity that is COBOL? Respect 😲
