I know ... off topic I worked for IBM in Norad on the ANFSQ-7. Only 64,000 tubes and 512k of 33 bit word core memory. And, there was 2 of them. As a ham, it was great that the memory unit used 6146w's... That made for a great supply of RF power tubes. The Air Conditions could make 20 tons of ice in a day. That computer run until 1982.
I was also trained on OS/2 internals/externals. It took until Windows NT before Microsoft actually started to get a proper multi-tasking OS. That being said, I have not had a BSOD in 24 hours since I cleaned out every everything and started over.
