Talk:GE-600 series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I worked at GE TEMPO, Santa Barbara, California from 1968 to July 1971. Sometime in 1970 the aging IBM 704 was replaced with a new GE-615. So yes indeed, there was a GE 615.

As I recall, one major reason GE got out of the mainframe business was a failure to close a deal with JC Penney. The deal was to close shortly before Christmas, but JC Penney decided it was too risky to switch their data processing system during the Christmas business season.
