Details, Data & Dehumanised Delights

I was in an accident where my heart was replaced by a lump of coal that is only combustible by nostalgia.

"Shogun Warriors" was unique in that it was a Marvel Comic adaptation based on a Japanese Toy Line, at the extremely early date of 1978.

Grace Hopper is a huge figure in early computing history. She worked on the first compilers, helped design COBOL (a language from 1960 that's still in use today), programmed some of the first US computers, and wrote the first computer manual.

She also popularized the term "bug" for a computer error, after she found a moth stuck in the relays of the Harvard Mark II computer in 1947. She didn't invent the term (it predates computers), but finding an actual bug inside a computer causing problems definitely enshrined the term.

What doesn't come through is how colorful PDP11s are. Those little panels at the top are pink and purple!

Sharing because it's possibly my favorite front panel from an aesthetic perspective.
