[QUOTE="Element115, post: 180144, member: 10457"] Limitation of current technologies. They wouldn't invent a time machine to go back to retrieve something. They'd already have a time machine as a tool. You could not reproduce an IBM 5100 easier than you could time travel and retrieve one, presuming we are that close to time travel in our current timeline. [B]We need the system to “debug” various legacy computer programs in 2036. UNIX has a problem in 2038.[/B] - John Titor The IBM 5100 did, indeed, contain functionality that was hidden from the public. At a time when most computers could only support the BASIC programming language, the IBM 5100 had the ability to emulate programs in both BASIC for system/3 and APL for system/370 (the “system” in this case refers to [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_mainframe']IBM mainframes[/URL]). According to Bob Dubke, one of the IBM 5100 engineers, this function was hidden “because of worries about how [IBM’s] competition might use it.” That piece of the story is verifiably correct. Even if the function weren’t hidden, however, the general public, especially around 2000-2001, most likely had little idea that such a machine even existed. Whoever the individual posting as John Titor was, he knew his stuff. So, if the UNIX timeout of 2038 is to be a serious problem, and if in 2036 we require the ability to “reverse engineer” or debug certain code to prevent a technological apocalypse, a 5100 could be our go-to machine.
