Thought for the month
"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen"
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. 1870 – 1924

It is easy to forget how large and limited computers used to be. My first home computer was a Commodore 64 and
it, along with other classics such as the PDP11, are all included in the
recently opened Living Computer Museum. A couple of points for the
nostalgic historical record: The maximum score possible on the 255 levels of
Pac-Man is 3,333,360 and in June 1980 the VIC-20 became the first computer to
sell over a million units - it had 3.5 KB of usable memory.
