- Is there something that IBM loves about the number 3? Didja ever notice how
- alot of ibm equipment starts with the number 3? Like system 36, 360, 370,
- 3090, 3270, etc. I'm sure people with more knowledge could give more
- examples (someone just mentioned IBM disk drives that were numbered 33xx)
-
- Is this just coincidence? Or does IBM only get things right in multiples of
- 3?
