Subject: Query re: "ghost in the machine"

Can anyone tell me the origins and meaning of the phrase "ghost in the
machine," as well as some history of its usage?
Thank you,
Sarah Stein

Sender: "Laurence I. Press" Subject: SABRE

Folks,

A few days ago someone posted a paragraph on the meeting between IBM's R.
Blair SMith and the president of American Airlines which kicked off the SABRE
project.

Can the poster give me a reference -- where was that taken from? (It is
headed "jetwire," but I don't know what that is.

Also -- Was IBM's R. Blair Smith associated with SAGE? I am looking for
links between lessons learned on SAGE and SABRE and other IBM projects and
products.

Folks,

I have seen a list of the customers for the IBM 701s, but do not recall where
-- perhaps the Annals of the History of Computing. Does anyone know where
the list is? Were they all sold to either government or aerospace?
