    Friend of mine who worked with SAM missiles in the late sixties/early seventies reckons they had six computers the size of modern day fridge/freezer which could only direct one missile at a time and they could only work if the room temperature stayed constant.

    SAMs: Sounds about right for the Nike system. I didn't count the computers exactly, I kept staring at the "wonder wall" in the Nike main center. Never did see it lit up, but they weren't my systems either. Dates would be correct for me as well. Fast damn things, when you hear the roar of them going off and if you looked up, the warhead would already be making its descent onto the target, if it hadn't already nailed it. The pads were maybe a mile away, if that far.

    Saw some strange things out there and my clearance wasn't high enough to find out what they really were. Probably just as well, but I'd trade a bead to know what the hell was in that mountain with the huge doors in the side. Only saw them open up once and they probably covered near a quarter of that mountain side and what came out of it, was not good.

    I remember the first hard drives, huge platters stacked on top of each other, that replaced the reel to reels. I thought I had seen heaven.

    The binary probably is political and I'll be mystified. Not to worry, I'm mystified by an awful lot, as I was back when. It's no wonder I love the stone age so much. We keep it up and I'll teach you how to make the tools.

    It translates as "machine codesa bastard" postpaleo.

    Interesting comment about what came out the large doors in the mountain...
