Hey @HinterlandGames, I've been playing The Long Dark since 2017 and it's bought me a lot of gaming joy. I wanted to say "thank you" in some way so I've donated £50 to @MSF_uk on your behalf. Keep up the great work!

Can anyone remember when computers looked like this? 💻

To mark #ExploreYourArchive week, we thought we'd have a look at the beginning of our digital journey. Here's our CEO in 1970, completing the very last stages of converting branch accounts to digital ones.

@AskNationwide Fun fact: the programs written for the System 360 would still be able to run on the z15 today!

[Mark Hiscock @markhiscock]

@AskNationwide The IBM System 360 was the original mainframe which is now called IBM Z. As a member I'm pleased that Nationwide continues to exploit this important technology with the IBM z15. https://t.co/kKECNDWEMZ
