Yes, but do you remember the days of the original comuter in the Hicks
building - took up most of one floor (8th?) , had a 6" diameter green
oscilloscope displaying strange waveforms and got through miles of punched
paper taps to do what you can now do on a give-away pocket calculator! - now
them really WERE the days - about 1962/3!!  ;O)

 p.s.  If anyone's poking around in dim corners of the computer centre I'm
on the lookout for a couple of stepper motors - the kind of thing which
is/was used in big plotters or old fashioned taps drives etc.
