Today I mostly read the returns policy for the people that sold me a tablet that turned up DOA... *sigh* is it me, or do these things have an amazingly high mortality rate? In the last few months, this is my second DOA, and third failure.
Other things that got read are "Early British Computers", bits of; and a description of the Booth multiplication algorithm, and the heroically tiny* APE(x)C and CADET. (I seem to be on an "ancient computers" kick at present. Not sure why. Most of these things were decommissioned years before I was born.) ____ * tiny in relative terms, that is. Still more or less room-sized in absolute terms.
