Just playing with Media Center that is built into Win7 Ultimate. It plays my music/video perfectly. But still going to build a interface...
my Wife used to opporate this for British Road Services in the Old Midland Hotel Lime Street Station Liverpool UK in the 50s.
A teleprinter (teletypewriter, Teletype or TTY for TeleTYpe/TeleTYpewriter) is a now largely obsolete electromechanical typewriter that can be used to communicate typed messages from point to point and point to multipoint over a variety of communications channels that range from a simple electrical connection, such as a pair of wires, to the use of radio and microwave as the transmission medium. They could also serve as a command line user interface to early mainframes and minicomputers, sending typed data to the computer with or without printed output, and printing the response from the computer. Teleprinters are still widely used in the Aviation industry (AFTN and airline teletype system).

A Central Processing Unit (CPU), or sometimes just called processor, is a description of a class of logic machines that can execute computer programs. This broad definition can easily be applied to many early computers that existed long before the term "CPU" ever came into widespread usage. However, the term itself and its initialism have been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s (Weik 1961). The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation has remained much the same.
Early CPUs were custom-designed as a part of a larger, usually one-of-a-kind, computer. However, this costly method of designing custom CPUs for a particular application has largely given way to the development of mass-produced processors that are suited for one or many purposes. This standardization trend generally began in the era of discrete transistor mainframes and minicomputers and has rapidly accelerated with the popularization of the integrated circuit (IC). The IC has allowed increasingly complex CPUs to be designed and manufactured in very small spaces (on the order of millimeters). Both the miniaturization and standardization of CPUs have increased the presence of these digital devices in modern life far beyond the limited application of dedicated computing machines. Modern microprocessors appear in everything from automobiles to cell phones to children's toys.

William using a layout from the internet on his mobile to design his flashing lights display. He likes the Raspberry Pi Jam as there are so many more leads than he has at home so he can make more complicated things.
I have a long history with this one.

I worked for Conoco in the late seventies on process control software for offshore gas platforms in the North Sea. The systems in place when I started were HP minicomputers (3000, 2100 and 21MX) running FORTRAN for the onshore stuff and Assembler for offshore. We replaced the offshore systems with 8080 and 8086 based Intel SBCs running a mix of PL/M and Assembler code (we also did some stuff with UCSD Pascal - my first taste of p-code / bytecode).
As part of the job I got to go on a couple of training classes at Intel (if I remember correctly back when they were in Oxford before the move to Swindon) and to play Colossal Cave Adventure (ADVENT) on an Intel MDS (blue box) system running ISIS-II . I did manage to finish it later and even ended up getting calls from people asking for help as the tech support guy for our Intel distributor had pointed them to me.
Somewhere in my garage I have a stack of old printouts including the FORTRAN source and data files for this. I did my stint with FORTRAN many years ago and had almost as much fun working through this as playing the game itself.

Analog computer used gears, electrical parts to compute calculus needed to point guns to deliver shells on a moving target, including movement of the earth, against ships or aircraft. Was not replaced by digital minicomputers until 1970s.
Gyroscope enabled American ships to hit Japanese ships which could not hit weaving American ships, and had to travel in a straight line while firing, making them easy targets. Big factor in Battle off Samar when destroyers threw back attack by battleships and cruisers (but got sunk doing it)

The PDP-8 was the first successful commercial minicomputer, produced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in the 1960s. Something like 300,000 units in the product family were sold, which is quite a remarkable number for the era.
