  1. You’ll (perhaps) be glad to know that after hitting some mysterious key-combo on the keyboard at work, when this heretofore undiscovered & unimagined window popped up on my computer screen, I did not hit “Cmd6.”

    Be thankful? Maybe?

    Who knows, you might have woken up this morning in a very different world. And I may have suddenly found myself sitting in a barnyard with a cow licking my cheek.

  16. #MainframeMonday Since I'm just back from Princeton reunions, today's mainframe is the IBM 360/91 - first "super" class computer in the IBM 360 family. Princeton got theirs in 1969 and ran it for about 10 years. I worked 4 years on the beast at the PUCC - but I never got to touch it! Also pictured is the console that was saved and lit up at the LCM in Seattle - along with photos of Lee Varian, Pete Olenick, and Melinda Varian - systems programmers for the PUCC.

  26. #MainframeMonday Bryant Computer Products, a division of Ex-Cello Corp., made these gigantic hard drives in the early sixties - resold by larger companies, most notably as the CDC 6603 with the CDC 6600. I possess one of the 39 inch(!) platters. [Not one meter, this is 'Merica after all] #ComputerHistory
