For one exciting moment there I thought that you were talking about the
Semi-Automatic Ground Environment - which a friend of mine was a tech on
in North Bay, ON, part of the DEW line!
I was getting ready to up stakes and hop off to Philadelphia!
cheers,

I'm not really familiar with SAGE machines. They were not as
well-known in the UK, I think, being upmarket from the Apple ][ and
IBM PC, both of which were eye-wateringly expensive by UK standards of
the time.
Also, they were terminal-based things and even back then I was
interested in boxes with graphics. :-)
There is a SAGE II at Kennett Classic. When I give tours I like to compare
and contrast the SAGE with the IBM PC, Motorola 68000 vs Intel 8086.
If anyone is in the Philadelphia area stop by and we can fire them up.
