You were important. You could have rigged all the votes, if you

honest.

The company I worked for took it on as a temporary favor when the
existing service company lost their contract, and I was relatively
computer-literate for 1975.


Those early systems were realy fun, with so many propritary parts,
and even ICs made in house. I still have an old Burroghs computer
sitting in the shed that I need to scrap. It came with boxes & binders
of source code & instructions for an accounting package that weighed
almost as much as the computer.

I was just barely familiar with the 8008 in '75. I had just left the
military, where the only logic I saw was RTL.
