History Today

I was on grep for a line that read

"see that Altair .. that's you PDA that is ... that's your most up-to-date piece of kit, that's the sum of your computing power"

"The console, at the front of the machine, has a bewildering array of
keys and lights and two cathode ray monitor tubes."

When a manual describes something as bewildering, you know you're in trouble.

"Auxiliary Staticizer"
Ooh! I want one of those!

This is used in Automatic Instruction Modification
That just has to end badly.

"Digits 22-25 : J, the Joe digits"
I've never had a computer with Joe digits
