OT - Is this computer for real? (CORRECTION)

[Gary Layng]

I have a keepsake of my late mother: a computer card storage box.  It's a very 
fine box, made of wood with middle-lapped joints, stained, and with the logo 
of the computer company embossed on the front, right above the brass label 
holder.  (I still use it for the purpose my mother did: a recipe card 
holder.)

The computer company?  Remington-Rand.  She stopped working when she became 
pregnant with her first child, back in 1950/1951.
