Cool?!?!

In September 1956, IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first ‘SUPER’ computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5 MB of data.

@GovLoop:  I like rooting for the underdog, too.  That's why I'm still holding out hope for the Redskins in the Superbowl!

There's something about the Nook that's kind of cooler in a way too.  It's like rooting for the underdog, right?

No - instead I got a nook tablet.  It seemed more versitile at the time than the kindle.

Anyone got a Kindle Fire?  Andrew's got a great new post on "You won't get burned buying a Kindle Fire" - http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/you-won-t-get-burned-buying-a...

The computer @ MIT in the 60's

...

MIT’s Compatible Time-Sharing System. In geek circles, it’s famous. CTSS pioneered many of the building blocks of computing as we know it today: things like e-mail, virtual machines, instant messaging, and file sharing.

From http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/24/lost-in-space-robot-dead/

The man who voiced the robot from "Lost in Space" back in the 60s has died.
Dick Tufeld died peacefully at an L.A. area hospital -- this according to Dick's "Lost in Space" co-star Bill Mumy.
According to Mumy, Tufeld -- a cancer survivor -- suffered from Parkinson's disease. He was 85 years old.
Mumy tells us, "Everything just caught up to him" -- adding, "He lost his wife a few years ago and lost his pep after that."
