I've decided to abandon this blog in favor of a newer, more experimental hypertext form of writing. Come over and see the new place.

IBM 1401, A User's Manual


There's been lots of music composed with computers but not so much about computers. Now an Icelandic composer has made an album of music commemorating the life and death of the IBM 1401 computer system. This computer was born about the same time I was and was one of the first computers I ever used (my high school district had one and they let the geeky kids play with it when it wasn't printing out paychecks and attendence reports).
