My favourite was always the Cray 2 which used artificial human blood plasma as a coolant, but the article talks of the 1965 HoneyWell kitchen computer which was built for the Neiman Marcus department store. At a cost of $10,500 it came with 2 programming manuals and a cookbook. Garbage In was by way of flickering binary switches and Garbage Out was by a row of blinking lights. There's more at www.computerhistory.org."

It would seem that the site is not viewable using Konqueror (2.2.2). It doesn't seem to be Konqeror's fault, it is just that the site does not send a valid HTTP response header (or any header, for that matter), so it freaks out the browser. Mozilla 0.9.8 is able to compensate for it, so you may want to try it instead.
