@DesolateApostle @tommithetechie When I was a grad student in Glasgow the 'heavy gang' delivered IBM disk drives. Operators were considered too wimpy to move kit like that..

@twieneruk @Parody_PM Even if wind turbines were fixed the direction of wind is not uniformly spread over 360 degrees. Wind in UK is from the west.

@tommithetechie I still have a similar Sharp pocket computer

@deccomputers I have a TK50 tape cartridge.

@deccomputers I had a VAXstation 3100 when doing PhD at LEP/CERN

We used clustered VAX for batch work. Easy to cluster up to 128 systems.
We had more than 128 IIRC so several clusters

@yay3d @bratton Thankyou. I have about a dozen BYTE magazines.

@DrHelenFry Reference to the progress of the atomic program here?
I have read Rhodes on the Manhattan Project, books on Oppenheimer and on the UK postwar.
I have heard of Haigerloch.
Any further reading would be interesting.
