I guess it is time to auction off some punch cards now
... one at a time
:). Actually, I am toying around with putting one punch card on ebay just
to see what would happen. It is a bit unusual though in that it is imprinted
with "Leo Computers", and just to keep it a set, perhaps putting one sheet
of original Leo Computers stationary. Anyone here remember Leo Computers
(late 40's, early 50's)?
You mean Lyons, the people who produced the LEO? I think it was the first
commercially sold computer; it was a cleaned-up version of one of the
British research machines (Manchester Mark I? EDSAC?).
