Lines: 17 Sure, I've used a PDP-1, only about 10 years ago. The things I remember best are (a) the clock speed knob on the front panel. (b) the assembler which punched out your program onto paper tape backwards so when the loader read it the relocation information was at the front. Neither Minsky nor McCarthy wrote the first spacewar, but it was Minsky's lab at MIT where the writing was done. Minsky now says proudly that he wants his lab to remembered as the first to ban game playing during the day. -- spoken: mark weiser UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!mark CSNet: mark@umcp-cs ARPA: mark.umcp-cs@UDel-Relay
