Renton datacenter had something like $200M-$300M IBM mainframes, 360/65s were arriving faster than they could be installed, boxes constantly staged in the hallways around the machine room). I had taken a 2hr computer intro class and within year was hired fulltime to be responsible for univ admin & academic production mainframe systems ... and was still going to school parttime. At end of spring semester, then Boeing hires me fulltime to be part of the BCS group (near the CFO office, who was runnign the BCS effort, across from Boeing Field, a dozen or so desks in large room that had previously been filled with drafting tables). CFO battles with head of Renton datacenter ... since when I started, CFO only had a 360/30 used for payroll ... although space was added for 360/67 for me to play with). -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970
