Liam, thanks for posting this. What a wonderful way to waste an hour. ; )
I can also highly recommend the book 'Digital Apollo', which goes into some detail
about the man-machine interface of the AGC and the internal debate at the time of the role
of man as "spacecraft pilot". -C

Amazingly detailed 1hr talk about the Apollo Guidance
Computer. It's
stunning how much they got into mid-1960s technology: 1 MHz hand-made
processor, 1 k of RAM, 4 k of ROM, and bank-switching, with a
fault-tolerant multitasking OS with an interpreted metalanguage.
Absolutely stunning.
