We had a 1130 in my High School in suburban Philadelphia.  It was for
the school payroll and scheduling.  The course "Intro to DP" used it for:

	1) Fortran
	2) Machine language (as in 1s and 0s)
	3) Assembler
	4) Commercial Subroutines (does anyone remember these?)

We had a Wang Micro which had a cassette interface in the front.
