Very interesting stuff indeed. Thanks.


Back in '59-'60 I thought how great it would be to have a computer with the knowledge of the entire world in it.

Of course I didn't have the slightest idea what a computer really was, but I did read a lot of science fiction. :D

Of course, the main reason that I wanted a computer was for a spell checker. Dumb little kid. :lol:

Back then, that was the World Book Encyclopedia and the Time/Life Year Books.

I think I still have one or two of those laying around somewhere...
