While on the topic of early stuff... has anyone ever come across an MCM/70 or an IBM 5100?  Or anything else that ran APL?

I have been reading about APL and it seems like a very interesting programming language...

Cheers,  

Patrick

    Thanks, Lyle!  I'm honored that you think this would be a worthy exhibit 
for VCF West, but you guys already have more SAGE stuff than anyone else! 
:-)  It would be an interesting cross-country trip, though.
