Just browsed the messages from Jan 3, 1992 on the death of Grace Murray Hopper
Grace Hopper is known worldwide for her work with the first large-scale digital computer, the Mark I. "It was 51 feet long, eight feet high, eight feet deep, " she said. "And it had 72 words of storage and could perform three additions a second." Wonder what that is in MIPS ... You could probably fit 10 full blown z10's in the same footprint (not counting clearance requirements) and they would probably require less power and cooling too! -----Original Message----- google has bit.listserv gateway back to 1991 this has summary of posts/month, this month's top posters and all-time top posters (although some are multiple counted under different email addresses) http://groups.google.com/group/bit.listserv.ibm-main/about -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
