| | | Welcome to uer. Nice pics, i've been wanting to check that place out for a while. We were driving by the night that the main house burned. They had the road blocked and wouldn't let anyone through.

| | | Yeah, so would I. I don't really know anything about it, other that I drive by it frequently. It's weird, I never really noticed it until after the fire.

It's definitely some high-end computer equipment from the '70s. Looking again, the slot at the left looks like it may have had paper tape capability, too. Pix from Wikipedia:
Those holes are roughly a tenth of an inch apart, so paper tape could hold a little over a letter an inch. As Wikipedia understates, "Datasets much larger than a few dozen kilobytes are impractical to handle in paper tape format."
I never actually used paper tape for coding -- I got started with the TRS-80 -- but when I was a kid my dad showed me the punching machine at the FAA radar site where he worked. He punched my name in a strip of tape, which was way cool. Wish I'd kept it!

How strange that I just read that quote/notion/idea while catching up on my Robert Cringely. And ironically, he was talking about social networking--i.e.: our favorite UER forums--being another CB radio. "Marshall McLuhan argued that obsolete communication technologies survive as art forms." From: http://www.pbs.org...080307_004467.html <EDIT: the opening statement was more what I MEANT to say, and less what I actually said.> [last edit 4/9/2008 10:47 PM by BugPowder - edited 1 times]
