One for the Techno-fossils

Some retro fun for the more mature chip / software / engineer / computer nerds among us.

Here's a rather quaint video of a much younger Shatner talking about the exciting future of integrated circuts ...back in 1976.

And here's another one from the US navy in the 1950s - when it's ballistics / fire control computers still had gears, camshafts and diffs.

Nice Gekko. I saw the date of 1980 at the end of the first vid. I was 24 then. Makes me wanna go dig out my old slide rule and take it for a test drive. Nerdtastic.
