Use
The IBM 1800 systems were used mainly in the process industry plants worldwide, such as in the 1971 installation on Blast Furnace No. 5 of Chiba Works of Kawasaki Steel Company, now part of JFE Group.
In June 2010 the last four operating IBM 1800s operating at Pickering Nuclear Generating Station in Pickering, Ontario, Canada were removed from service. Pickering is still using four ES-1800 computers which are IBM 1800 hardware emulators built by Cable & Computer Technologies. A video showing the end of the Pickering IBM 1800 boot sequence is available on YouTube

Famous quotes containing the word use:
“... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
