Thanks for starting this thread Graham. I agree with Lucy, it has been a great read.
I did some searching and found this article, written in 1998 for the Hall's 30th anniversary, which talks about the Hall's 1970's "Friday Project", connecting kids with computers. Unfortunately it doesn't name the type of computer system we had back then, but it's a great read. Many of these people went on to lead distinguished careers in scientific fields. http://www.berkeley.edu/news/magazine/fall_98/feature_lhs.html AJ Craft Technical Project Manager Center for Technology Innovation Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley 510-643-1984 www.lawrencehallofscience.org On Fri, Jan 22, 2016 at 10:52 AM, Lucy Greco <lgr...@berkeley.edu> wrote: > hello" > this thread has been fantastic to read i wish a grad student would take > some time to write up the history of computing on campus by > interviewing all of you and more of the people that made computing here > at Berkeley. cheers to all of you that have been here to see us grow and > become a community. keep sharing your memorys its otherwise a disk fail > when we don't have access to the system your brains all is i love the way > you all help us realize that it may be hard today but it would be nothing > with out our past. lucy > > Lucia Greco > Web Accessibility Evangelist > IST - Architecture, Platforms, and Integration > University of California, Berkeley > (510) 289-6008 skype: lucia1-greco > http://webaccess.berkeley.edu > Follow me on twitter @accessaces > > > On Thu, Jan 21, 2016 at 8:03 PM, Aron Roberts <a...@socrates.berkeley.edu> > wrote: > >> Mike's reminiscences about the wonders of nascent cell phones and >> wireless networks, and Al's about late '90s OCR, both recall this >> Arthur C.
