And so it goes--what could have been a very detailed

instead a question mark--and that's not likely to be remedied anytime

My point is that many of the old farts here experienced the history
and so have a very different perception that someone who does a
little research of printed material and then writes a book.
"Vass you dere, Shollie?" is a very relevant question in any computer
history work.
But remember, "been there, done that" is completely worthless because
it isn't "real information". Instead of trusting the word of people who
saw and did it, no, that's just anecdotal. Someone who DIDN'T see or do
it, then gets to write about it, THEN that's "reliable information".
Wheeee!
