When I first moved to Seattle in December of 1977, I checked out the local
computer stores. At "The Retail Computer Store" the clerk was Bob Wallace.
Bob invited me to the Northwest Computer Club meetings that were then held
at the Pacific Science Center (part of the 1962 Worlds Fair.)
Club officers, December 1977
http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/MySystem/ClubMembers100.jpg
The Club hosted a computer fair at the Science Center. (In 1978 and 1979 it
drew thousands of people.) Bob ran the first one and I was volunteered to
run the fair the next year. I was glad the Bob was around to help for the
second fair.
The night the second fair was over, Bob and I sat around talking. He almost
finished with his Masters in Computer Science at the University of
Washington. (He was helping with the fair during finals week.) He was
excited about his new job in Albuquerque with Microsoft.
Later when I was working at Data I/O doing PLD software (ABEL), we OEMed a
few thousand copies of Bob's text editor "PC-Write".

Re: Transputer Boards
I talked with a hobbyist this morning, that unfortunately since about the
time of the 9/11 incident, has been out of work for the last year, and is
selling some of his gear to make next month's rent. He currently sells
stuff on eBay. ( note: to make as much money as he can, and he is at
least honest in his open admission of it, so he has my respect for that ).
He is looking for some transputer boards. I myself don't yet know anything
about them, as I've never had any, or done any research on them. But if
anyone has any they want to sell, let me know what you've got, and how
much you want for it/them. I might be willing to buy some for him, and
he and I would then trade some parts. You'd pretty much have to be
wanting what he, as another hobbyist, would be willing to pay for them,
so if you're not interested ( because it might not be a whole lot, I just
don't know ), I would completely understand.

What I remember from that time is that as result of the movie
questions were asked in the Senate *if* the scenario shown in
the movie *could* be possible ...
BTW I love that movie. Seen it more than 5 times, still like it.

Hi Lawrence,
I see you got that PDP8/e chassis on eBay that I posted to the list. As you
now well know it wasn't me selling it, and while it wasn't anything I was
interested in, I thought one of you DEC collectors might be.

Went shopping today and found one of these. Is anyone familar with them? I guess it does the same thing as a HP Logic Clip but it's bigger. It has a clip the attaches to a 16 pin IC then about a 18" cable. On the other end of the cable is a box that measures about 4 1/2" x 3" x 1/2" with a large window on one side. Inside the window is a black panel with two rows of holes with a LED under each hole. The odd thing is that one row has eight holes and LEDs and the other has nine! I've been playing with it and haven't seen the 9th LED light up yet so I'm not sure what it's for. There also a slot at the end of the box, It looks like it's intended for the user to make a THIN paper label and insert it under the window and between the rows of LED holes. I opened it up and it's made of individual components (including lots of diodes!) except for three 7404 ICs. The ICs used in this one are all dated 1972. The whole thing is grey except for the window and it says that it was made in West Germany. Anybody know exactly what the extra LED is for?
