History of Computing:

Cute Things in Picture:

Note the thermometer stuck in the top of the 11/70 CPU. The gold bumper sticker at the top of the rack says "Quiet, genius at work." The picture is taken in room 100 building 394 at APG. The Vector General graphics system were supposed to be peripherals for BRL's CDC Cyber but they never worked for that. Each one came with an 11/34 CPU, a DQ-11, and 56K modem. Of course, Mike and his group immediately just put UNIX on the 11/34's. The 11/34 and the comm gear were subsequently used by me for internet routers.
