Hi,
This week's New Scientist magazine carries a report of a new book called
"Core Memory" by Mark Richards & John Alderman, pub. Chronicle Books,
ISBN 1780811854429. It's a collection of photographs of vintage computer
equiment, inspired by a visit by the author to VCF in 2003.
Anyone seen a copy? Is it worth investing in?
The New Scientist article has a photo of part of the Apollo Guidance
computer, the modules clearly marked "Engineering Prototype".
