Well, Truth be told, I’d have been happy with the computer in the basement and a video terminal in the bedroom. That way the bedroom wouldn’t have been so warm in the summer.

First computer I ever worked. The Philco Ford 1000.

Cheyenne Mountain Command Center, NORAD, 1976.

We actually had several of these.

Funny thing when I see these drawings and photos, no one ever shows the form feed box of paper going into (and out of) the teletype. Man, TSgt Becker would kill me if I let that box run out!
