"Here's one supermini that's gonna knock your socks off."
(picture of two socks hanging over computer)
"It's the IBM 4361"
"And it's setting new standards for cost-performance. IBM? Supermini? For
computational processing? You bet. IT'LL KNOCK THE SOCKS OFF A CENTIPEDE."
(editor's emphasis added)

........

It then goes on to say that it supports ASCII (mock shock, mock horror),
Unibuses (real shock, real horror), it has an open architecture and that it
is upgradable to 4381s, 308Xs and 3090s (with Unibuses????!!!!)


Is this for real??!! and the big question still left unanswered WHAT ABOUT 
ALL THOSE CENTIPEDES WITH COLD FEET??
