The SAGE systems' real value and utility came as an air traffic control system.

At 5:57 are those bullet holes from an anoyed user?

[johnb10000]

@ilivensoca Yes and the computer sat at somebody's house for years and they put stuff on top of it and used it for target practice. The description is about 6 minutes into the video. I have felt like shooting at computers many times due to badly written software.

What would an IBM system 360 hdd be worth? I'm pretty sure what I got is an IBM system 360 drive. Video is on my profile here on YouTube.

[XanaduZune]

Great videos. Thanks for the computer history. You can have my computer after I develop the world's first truly sentient artificial intelligence on it. It will be very historic.

My 1'st job was development on a Honeywell (GE-Bull) 5k computer. Worth about 200,000$.

We upgraded to the max memory of 10k about a year after startup.

Not all that bad, since 10k was in words and not bytes :)

We are not angry that you have a piece of the original Colossos because we have a working Colossos. Check out Bletchley Park's web site.

i spot a PET!

[RyanPridgeon]

I used an enigma; incredibly clever machine for the age. It actually used a wiring system where you could put in a number, and it would wire each letter to another depending on the number, so as long as you had the number you cuold decode the messagess.

[gattacadream]

Very good explanation. He really understands the computer evolution. thanks for uploading.

[gattacadream]

Great video, really interesting but i can t help wondering why the old guy wears a shirt with the buttons attached wrongly.

[JimTheMingebag]

haha wtf i have no idea

[johnb10000]

The is caused by getting up early on a weekend, getting dressed fast and rushing over to the museum. Nobody mentioned the buttons were wrong and I found out when I started editing.

[gattacadream]

Forget about your buttons. Great job. I really enjoyed listening to you. Great job.

We want more !!!
