Maybe we could all implant long wires into our heads so we'd just have to THINK at
the calculator instead of haveng to waste all that time typing, :-) (didn't Buck
Rogers have one of those?)
Anyone willing to try this out, see if it works? :-)
Incedentally, the radio interference thing happened first with the ALTAIR, the first
for-sale PC. You assembeled it yourself, and programmed it by flipping DIP
switches, and read the output in octal. One of the first programs created for it
(in 1975) taught it to play "Fool on the Hill", by the Beatles. The second song it
learned was "Daisy" the first song to be composed on a computer (at the Bell labs in
1957), which can be heard in 2001: A space Odessy.
