Chips with Everything

Chips with Everything
I worked in the Information Technology/Computer Industry for many years and experienced the evolution from enormous mainframes and punch cards through the era of miniaturisation to today’s Personal Computers.

It has been an amazing ride.

The computer chip (some varieties pictured above) made it all possible.

Yes, the development of computers has been fascinating. Our first was an Amstrad 6128: it was twice as good as a Commodore 64, because it had twice as much memory .... (128K vs 64K).... LOL

Yes, memory and storage developments have been extraordinary, exponential.

I was on a DEC VAX course back in the 80's, I told the instructor to slow down, as my first experience of data transfer was morse code.......she thought I was joking!

:-) I knew the AS/400 pretty well, and its predecessors. Used to compete against the DEC machines, particularly in the engineering fraternity.

I was an AS/400 A/P in a listed business for 5 years in the 0-ties. Great machine to work on and good to find someone who knows what it is. The first computer I had a play on was a National Elliott 405 in the second half of the 60s. Parts of that one were on display at the Power House museum in Sydney a decade back. www.ipernity.com/doc/grahamh/24079367
