Fascinating piece of history !!! Thanks Tom. I really enjoyed that and there are more video demos as well Wink

I enjoy the history of computing very much and I can recommend a book that I own. It is entitled:

"A History of Modern Computing" by Paul E. Ceruzzi. Second Ed.


Thanks again .....

Bill
