Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Only one monitor?
I made the trash guys take 13 of 'em last week.

New Cleaned out my in-law's attic...
He had boxes of computer printouts from maniframe Fortran programs from around 1982.

I almost expected to find rolls of teletype paper tape program listings.

Somewhere at home I've got a 4" x 4" magnetic core circuit board from a PDP-8. Something like 1/3 of a 12-bit word x 256 bits.

"What? You had magnetic core memory? Why in my day we had to use ...!"

:-)

Cheers,
Scott.
New Wish I'd snagged a box from the attic once
While checking what was behind unmarked doors in the physics department at UVa, I found the stairs to the attic. There was one large room, about 15m by 30m, filled about waist-high with cardboard boxes in neat rows and stacks. I opened the nearest and found it to be full of punch cards. Checked a few more boxes at random and found more of the same. Wonder what they'd be worth on EBay?
