I sumbled over this wonderfull items of my roots in computing. With the C64 I learned coding (I had no medium to save anything, so every time I started it, I had to built something myself first)
And the Cray was a dream back then. Cray not only made the supercomputers of that time, they made them stylish too. There was one with a watercooled system. They made a well out of it!

The advent of cloud computing, business Web services and related ‘distributed’ ICT environments creates a new opportunity for business creation and jobs in Europe. This Science|Business Policy Bridge meeting focussed on how the EU could shape the way these evolve so as to maximize economic benefit. The three-hour discussion among experts and leaders in academia, industry and EU policy will produced a check-list of future steps needed to accelerate jobs growth in this field.
