[COFF] 70 years of commercial computing

[Greg 'groggy' Lehey]

Seen in my calendar yesterday:

  Jun 15  UNIVAC I delivered to the Census Bureau, 1951

70 years!  And Unix has been around for nearly 52 of those years.

Amusingly, though, the next entry is:

  Jun 16  First publicized programming error at Census Bureau, 1951

Which suggests that they were able to install the machine and getting
it running in only one day.
