Re: Not Exactly
I was thinking of Intel's 4004. Which led to the 4040 which were used in Beehive Terminals. I fixed more than a few of those. Which lead to the 8008 which led to the 8080. With the 8080 things really took off. Then came the Z-80. And the 6502 and the 6800 and a whole slew of other families. TMS 900...

Re: A Tale of two futures.
One predicted by Huxley, the other by Orwell. http://www.recombinantrecords.net/docs/2009-05-Amusing-Ourselves-to-Death.html Which was more prophetic ? David We will get mostly Huxley with a little Orwell. There will be an outlaw culture for those who do not fit in. Kinda reminds me of the old joke...

"Concentration of wealth is a natural result of concentration of ability, and recurs in history. The rate of concentration varies (other factors being equal) with the economic freedom permitted by morals and the law... democracy, allowing the most liberty, accelerates it. -- Will and Ariel Durant ....

I think Obama probably has his heart in the right place and would be a great president for America during an economic boom where there's plenty of money (More educational opportunities for all, universal healthcare not just for the rich etc.) I fear that he has all the wrong instincts for someone t...

Here comes some heresy. (at least from my side of the political spectrum.) I have figured out (years ago.) that communism *IS* a natural form of government, and is right and proper in it's place, and that place is the FAMILY. Communism on a large scale is simply a failure to understand human nature...

I clicked on your link under the picture of the dead dog. Read the article, clicked on the link to Obama being the second most unpopular president in history, it said: The Story has been removed. Yeah, I verified that. The "Washington Times" is supposed to be the "conservative" newspaper in Washing...

Interesting article, thanks Dave. Anytime ! Besides, everything I post is interesting ! :) I've read of a phenomenon called "Intellectual phase lock" which sometimes afflicts scientists. It is the belief that because the majority believe something to be a certain way, this must be accurate and ther...

Take a look in the mirror "Raving Dave"! AHA! HA! HA! HA! HA! I do. Constantly. That's the difference. People need to look at their ideas with a critical eye, and re-evaluate them. I am persuadable. I change my opinion when evidence convinces me that i've made a mistake in reasoning, or I didn't ha...
