My friends in CompSci at York have reminded me that
the School of
Computer Science at the University of Manchester is organising a number
of activities "to celebrate the 60th birthday of computing"" -- that is,
to celebrate the 60th birthday of the "Baby" computer. There's to be a
computer animation festival and a public open day in June that may be of
interest to UK list members, and there's a "program the Baby" competition.
The last winner I think was a noodle timer. With the real machine
you could TIME and HEAT your noodles. :)

Has anybody duplicated the baby using modern components ( ie: solid state)
but still keeping the CRT storage?
