#6600
There comes the king of all pumpkins
To burn away all of our old sins.
Yet, even after that, nobody wins.

Do you have a favourite supercomputer?
Sure do!
CDC 6600
Here's a console and about a quarter of the rest of the machine at the Computer History Museum. Released in 1964, and designed by Seymour Cray, Control Data Corporation had a beast of a machine capable of 2 MIPS, with a 60-bit processor operating at 10MHz
The two-screen, round CRT console is just so awesome. I wish I could sit down at a console like this and give one of these machines a try for myself.

The Control Data 6600
Generally considered to be the first successful supercomputer, it held the title of the world's fastest computer from 1964 to 1969.
Developed and created by legendary computing pioneer Seymour Cray, the 6600 prompted the rival IBM CEO of the time to write in a memo to his employees: "Last week, Control Data..announced the 6600 system. I understand that in the laboratory developing the system there are only 34 people including the janitor. Of these, 14 are engineers and 4 are programmers…Contrasting this modest effort with our vast development activities, I fail to understand why we have lost our industry leadership position by letting someone else offer the world's most powerful computer."

Riley doesn’t really have anything to hold on to, but she puts her left hand over the top of the smooth hump of a beam between two panels of glass. At least that gives her the illusion of having something to grab when the glass breaks...
