Ed - Tell the truth - you took that picture of your computer and made up the caption, didn't you?

I think that large round wheel was the prototype for the Prowler steering wheel.

Teletype interface and Fortran programming language is what they predicted would be used. Holy crap has technology advanced farther and faster than they ever thought!

I remember when we used to laugh at the Dick Tracy two way wrist radios. Little did we know they also doubled as cameras, GPS, etc.
I worked for a short time at Lunkenheimer valves and nothing was air conditioned excepted the glass walled room holding the computer. That was 1963 and the computer took up an entire room. A cell phone probably has more memory than that thing had.
