...this made me smile.. took me back to the 70s..This is akin to the GE115 (taken on as a Honeywell-Bull GE115) but not showing the tape drives (we only had a tape based OS - TOS27). I looked like that as well (not). I like the way it says it was a small computer. Define small eh?
If you look closely @Dovefromabove you can see that the man's hair is actually knitted (or maybe a posher crochet job like Rooney's)....this is obviously how it all started...never trust a knitter I say...

I bet Ada Lovelace could knit, or crochet, or do tatting ….

While I'm not really a programmer, I know enough to follow the conversation. I knit and sew too, and in my mind a knitting pattern is a form of code (instructions to make something happen) and dressmaking is just engineering with soft stuff (making flat fabric fit a curved body - sometimes very curved ) Maybe my engineer's mind works in a peculiar way .

Are you old enough to remember James Burke and his TV programme from the 70s/80s re connections between events/things/people/inventions?
He had a web site a few years ago that showed the links say between a banana and moon exploration that carried on from that programme. Six degrees of separation as they say.
