IBM stretch 7030 switches with important labels:

OFF-OUTPUT TAPE LABELED

PRINTS EVERYTHING ON OUTPUT

REWINDS BEFORE PRINTING

DON'T REWIND WHEN DONE

PUNCH ONLY SAVE PRINTING

ENTER TAPE LABELLER WHEN DONE

LASL MCP OUTPUT

IPL SOS WHEN DONE

 

Now I'm totally confused about hwo to spell LABELED and LABELLER.

Jeu SSI « U.S.A.A.F » pour la famille des Apple II.

 

Wargame permettant de jouer la campagne de bombardement de jour par l’Air Force US sur l’Allemagne et l’Europe pendant la seconde guerre mondiale.

 

13 avions de la Luftwaffe, 11 types d’avions Us (bombardiers, chasseurs) tous ayant des caractéristiques uniques. 12 cibles industrielles différentes influençant l’effort de guerre …

 

Considéré a l’époque, par les spécialistes, comme le meilleurs wargame de guerres aériennes.

Cray-2, Cray Research Inc., 1985

Memory: 512M (64-bit) Semi

Speed: 488 MFLOPS/CPU

Cost: $12-20,000,000

 

“Although smaller than the Cray-1, the Cray-2 could perform operations 12 times faster than its predecessor. The system was cooled by immersing its circuit boards in a liquid called Fluorinert. While most machines included up to four processors, this is the only eight-processor Cray-2 ever made. Twenty-seven Cray-2 computers were sold in all.”

The Origins of the Internet

 

“When the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik satellite in 1957, the US government responded with dramatically increased support of technology research and development, much of it funded through the new Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). In 1966 Bob Taylor of ARPA’s computer research division obtained funding for a network called ARPANET to link computers so that resources and results could be shared more easily. He hired Larry Roberts of MIT to manage the project, which was based on newly-invented packet-switching technology. At the end of the 1969 the ARPANET began operating with four nodes: University of California at Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, Stanford Research Institute, and University of Utah. That original ARPANET gradually grew into the Internet, which 30 years later had about 43 million nodes.

 

The early Internet, used primarily by engineers and scientists, was not at all user-friendly. As e-mail and file transfer protocols and programs matured, non-specialists started to use it. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee of the CERN high-energy physics lab in Europe proposed a protocol for the exchange of online documents which became the basis for the World Wide Web. The development in 1993 of the graphical browser Mosaic by Marc Andreessen and his team at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) made the web accessible to everyone and led to its explosive growth. Marc Andreessen and entrepreneur Jim Clark founded Netscape in 1994 to create a web browser based on the Mosaic project. Netscape Navigator quickly dominated the early browser market.”
