Gazing at my bookcase and noting a 1971 copy of the
PDP8's Small Computer Handbook.

That was 47 years ago, and then 47 years before then
takes us back to 1924, well before the days of any
working programmable machines (pace the Jacquard Loom)

Now that the Raspberry Pi 3 gives us a quadcore 64 bit
processor with 1GB of RAM for only a few £ / $, I realise that a lot of
our nostalgia and folklore of those days is for something
very primitive compare to today's offerings
