This scene from the highly popular 1995 film, Apollo 13, takes place moments after an oxygen tank exploded in the Service Module. The Guidance, Navigation, and Control ("GNC") Flight Controller warns Flight Director Gene Kranz (played by Ed Harris) that the spacecraft may rotate into “gimbal lock.”

"Gimbal lock" would align two or more gyroscope gimbals and then flip them out of position. The crew would then have to perform the difficult task of realigning the gyro platform using the space sextant, telescope, and computer keyboard you see in this display case. Of note, portions of this unit actually flew on the dramatic Apollo 13 mission in 1970.

Portions of this Primary Guidance, Navigation, and Control System (PGNCS) (pronounced "pings") unit also flew on Apollo 14, 15, 16, as well the three manned Skylab space station missions. The telescope and sextant you can actually look through were used by the astronauts traveling to the Moon on Apollo 14 and 16.

Because of a recall of beryllium metals throughout the government in the 1970s and 1980s for critical defense needs, the existence of a complete Apollo PGNCS, like this, is rare. This is one of only two complete units known to exist. The other is at the Draper Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Apple Computer Cupcake by Brandy Wheeler

My son wanted an Apple Computer theme birthday party. So I created these Apple laptop cupcakes using marshmallow stackers, blue Fruit-by-the-Foot candy and blue frosting for the keys. They are secured with toothpicks. Quite popular with the kids. Although I think any Apple Fanboy would be happy to have these.

'From Dust' by Steve Smailes

I have been looking into the relationship between technology and people. Particularly in terms of the human effect we have on technology. We leave behind dust which is made from human skin cells, clothing fibres, food, grease and oil which can impact on its performance, particularly in terms of heat reduction; fans, heat sinks etc. Ironic when you think of the impact technology is said to have on our environment. This primarily human waste product can be seen as a representation of our dependence and reliance on computers in our society. We think of computers as machines with a lack of personality and void of biological life, however under close examination this is not the case. A colony of dust can form inside our computers creating unique structures and shapes from our body’s emissions. These images were made using old computer parts and were shot using a lens reversal technique to magnify a particular area of a circuit board or component.

Approximately 378 grams of human skin were shed in the making of this project.

Computer Science Summit by Governor Kay Ivey

Governor Kay Ivey was the keynote speaker during the luncheon portion of the Alabama Computer Science Education Summit, Wednesday March 14, 2018 in Montgomery, Ala. During Governor Ivey's remarks, she will also be announcing her "Governor's App Challenge which will be presented and judged at next year's summit.

The Governor's App Challenge will be a statewide contest similar to a science fair for computer science and coding. Judges will be selected by the Governor's Advisory Council for Computer Science Education. Rules will be announced in June 2018. (Governor's Office, Hal Yeager)

A8 - Bondwell computer - simply the best by Marten Kuilman

My first computer (1986), an IBM-clone.

Never gave any problem, but became outdated after some years.

Bondwell was a US manufacturer of personal computers during the 1980s.

In the early 1980s, Bondwell sold a line of Z80, CP/M-80 based Osborne-like luggables such as the models Bondwell-12, Bondwell-14 (1984) and Bondwell-16 (1985). An exceptional feature in these was an inbuilt speech synthesizer. Their prices were exceptionally affordable for the time, although significant trade-offs were made in regard durability, for instance the chassis was rather flimsy plastic, falling far short of the ruggedness usually expected of luggables. The fanless power supply unit, located under the motherboard, often caused trouble. The choice of peripheral I/O devices made the use of interrupts virtually impossible.

The Bondwell-12 was a "luggable" portable computer with a built-in 9 inch (23 cm) monochrome CRT display, equipped with 64 kiB of internal memory, CP/M 2.2 and two single-sided, double density, 5.25 inch floppy disk drives (180 kiB). The Bondwell-14 had 128 kiB of memory, CP/M 3.0 and two double-sided drives (360 kiB). The Bondwell-16 had CP/M 3.0, one double-sided drive and a hard disk drive with a capacity of a bit less than 10 MiB.

The Bondwell-2 (1985) was a laptop computer with 64 kiB of memory, CP/M 2.2 and one single-sided, double density 3.5 inch floppy disk (360 kiB). 256 and 512 kiB memory extensions were available. It was one of the earliest laptops, as well as one of the few battery-powered CP/M computers.

The more advanced Bondwell-18 model featured MS-DOS and the x86 architecture. (Wikipedia)
