TOTALLY OFF TOPIC.

Checker was a manufacture of taxicabs. They decided to get into
the general car market.

Here is an ad from the Checker Motors company in 1963
from LIFE magazine. It cites the taxicab service as a
virtue for general use.

(you may scroll through the rest of the issue.)

Also, from the same issue, is a four page ad from Studebaker.

(I have no idea of what kind of computers, if any, these
companies used.)
