Let's say, just hypothetically, that you've been programming since 1960. How
long can you remember trends in the computing industry (which, presumably,
is different from either academic computing or hobbyist programming)?

In fact, let's go further - does your memory confirm that the OS/360
development effort described in Brooks was fairly typical (if not advanced)
for industrial computing in the early-to-mid 1960's?
