The IBM 1401 mainframe runs "Edith"
CuriousMarc
CuriousMarc runs the program 'Edith' on a 1959 IBM 1401 mainframe at the Computer History Museum. The program prints a famous line-printer image on the vintage machine. The video is part retro-computing demo and part joke.
HN points to it as a fun, well-known example of line-printer art on early IBM hardware, and to the channel for vintage computing history.
