Very interesting segment on old storage media. I remember punch cards,
paper tape, huge fixed head hard drives, etc. The article he wrote is
also very interesting too. I loved the patch panel for the IBM machine.
Have not seen one of those in a long long time. I did take a class in high school that
taught us how to program a tabulating machine. Way
to go Sellam.

Way to go Sellam! You look younger than I had imagined *duck*
So now that they are done with the show, you won't be needing that H214
anymore right?
Where was the plug for the classiccmp list, hummm?? :)

Yep, I'm ripping the core out and framing it for hanging.

Can't do it. Remember last episode with classic stuff - non-Sellam (I have
it on mpg I think)? The guy was in a ScreenSavers outtake. He was showing
old audio recording devices and not only crushed one in his hand, but
dropped what was left onto the floor while saying "oh shit" (what he was
holding was supposedly 1 of only like a dozen of that unit type left). So,
unfortunately, computers and devices have been harmed often on that damned
show. Sometimes intentionally (former producer Sarah what's-her-name - the
one who got married, pregnant and sorta left the show assaulted and
destroyed one with her friend Morgan... and Patrick Norton then detroyed a
computer for New Year's, etc.) and sometimes by accident (Leo once knocked
one off a desk by accident and well, it wasn't pretty).

I was looking for the disclaimer in the fine print after the show, that "No
computers were harmed in the production of this film".

Correction from last post. It was Megan Morrone with Morgan and Jessica
Lane had also attacked a PC.

PS: Those bastards are too ignorant for their own good; attacking poor
hapless computers they don't understand... heh. At least they also make fun
of Dell and "Steve" and handhelds with Mike Daisey's "Panda."

I'd love to have one of those huge drive platters to hang on my office
wall next to the 14" one I have now. :)
