you have to admit this was pretty advanced for 1956

64,000 cards to store a 128K 5 minute MP3 file, or you could fill 50 platters with it.

i don't think they had a compiler... propably assembly language.

metasuperhyper, You may be right. But resetting the assembler would be even more tedious; it's practically resetting the whole system.

COMPACT? WTF LOL

used to be compact back then. in another 50 years, your average desktop PC would be less than a cubic inch in size.

Thank goodness for 802.11 standards... Still, wireless transmission and satellite are in an initiative state: a cell phone is unreliable when you try to make a call from a basement. Maybe science can shrink the electron to help with such inadequacies. I dunno...
