thats amazing that they have both the 1971 Edition and the 1979 Edition so you can see the differences 8 years made

in 71 edition in one of the pictures there's just one man. in the 79 edition u can clearly see 3 women standing around the servers..

The basic fundamentals of computers are the same. its not like in 20 years binary is supposed to be different.

Today some of that information is a same, some of its just old. 71-79 didnt seem to be the computer age anyways.

I am a MainFrame programmer for the Israeli army..
Believe me, What you see today in file managment and memory,
IBM and those big washing machines did back in the 70s

(I always wanted to program Java... For some reason, nobody cared)
