Neat. My background with computers is something all together different. First assignment was CINCPACFLT (Huge Budget) we had a PDP-11/70 2 Mill cost and another 2 mil to make it do what we wanted. In 21 years I got to work the spectrum of computers worked on WWMCCS/MILNET/ARPANET. When I retired was working on UYK-20 Ancient Beast from the Apollo Days but pretty damn hardy if a bit bulky and heavy.
