John Titor and the IBM 5100

John Titor needed an IBM 5100 because there is no C or UNIX code in it or anything used to create it and its creation had no C or UNIX influence.

It is ``perfect in his generations'' like Noah. He could only take one computer and the other old computers from our time were physically too big to take back with him or were not compatible enough to be useful to him.

In his dystopian nightmare, UNIX is the only operating system in use and everything is affected by the 2038 problem. Hopefully we can create a better timeline for our world.

APL or Basic timeline?
>The 5100 was available with APL, BASIC, or both programming languages.
>He was assigned to a governmental time-travel project, and sent back to 1975 to retrieve an IBM 5100 computer which he said was needed to debug various legacy computer programs in 2036
t 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 IBM mainframes).
