In the days of disco and bell-bottom jeans.
The IMB 5100 ruled the computing scene.
With its magnetic tape and punch card stacks.
It could handle data like no other.
Its 8-bit microprocessor was so rad.
Clocking in at 1.9 MHz, such speed.
And with 16KB of memory.
It could run BASIC programs with flair.
The CRT monitor was a real treat.
With 24 lines of text, it was grand.
Its optional floppy disk drive.
Made file storage a breeze and kept data alive.
So here's to the IMB 5100, a computer so divine,
A true icon of the seventies and a technological shrine.
The computer that shall save our timeline.
A computer we have 5100 reasons to love.
