The unmentioned typewriter is the IBM Selectric (why was it unmentioned?). In fact, the whole sentence sounds a lot like innuendo. If this sentence can't be more specific, I'm going to delete it. [[User:Shoaler|Shoaler]] 12:41, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
== Rental cost of APL on IBM mainframes ==
I used APL in a summer job, in 1980, doing budget spreadsheets for in-house IT use. I remember the company had only a few licenses. Recently, I saw a web page that cleaimed IBM's monthly license fee for APL for one user was something like $1K or $4K. Besides the paradigm issues, could this have held back acceptance of APL?
