The Bulova Accutron
warewolfsmith writes "The Bulova Accutron. Introduced in 1961, it was the first successful transistorized watch, far more accurate than any other watch then on the market and a major advance in timekeeping technology. Prior to reading this article I had never heard of it. Interesting history." There are a number of websites devoted to it.
Who cares how accurately it kept time? The more important issue at hand is.... Does it run Linux? ;-)
I'm sure NetBSD's already working on a port
S.t.e.v.e.
I have an old toothbrush you can do a story on. I might have a pair of transistorized crotchless panties also, but don't hold me to that.
The most important thing any republican needs to know.

It's far quicker than sending something in the mail and a real advancement in communications technology! Prior to learning about the fax machine, I had never learned about it before. Very interesting." Gee, we are really running short on stories today.
