30th Anniversary of the Microcomputer
FreezerJam writes "The Toronto Star is running an article on the 30th anniversary of the launch of the MCM/70, the first personal computer, complete with tape drive and APL programming environment. For those of you checking your timeline, this is over a year before the article on the Altair 8800 was published. Microcomputers? Blame Canada!" There's also a story in the Globe and Mail.

Congrads Micro. If it weren't for you I wouldn't be typing this.

Give it up, please.
"History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme." Mark Twain
16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
the demise of the Godless, greed/fear based georgewellian fuddite southern baptist freemason corepirate nazis/walking dead, etc,,,
all in a daze wwwork.
also, responding to the rumour that some of yOUR attention spans are limitdead buy endless corepirate nazi ?pr? ?firm? hypenosys:
you can anticipate all you want. our advise is to be as far away from the walking dead contingent as possible, when the big flash occurs. you wouldn't want to get any of that evile on you.
as to the free unlimited energy plan, as the lights come up, more&more folks will stop being misled into sucking up more&more of the infant killing barrolls of crudeness, & learn that it's more than ok to use newclear power generated by natural (hydro, solar, etc...)methods. of course more information about not wasting anything/behaving less frivolously is bound to show up, here&there.
cyphering how many babies it costs for a barroll of crudeness, we've decided to cut back, a lot, on wasteful things like giving monIE to felons, to help them destroy the planet/population.
no matter. the #1 task is planet/population rescue. the lights are coming up. we're in crisis mode. you can help.
the unlimited power (such as has never been seen before) is freely available to all, with the possible exception of the aforementioned walking dead.
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. more breathing. vote with yOUR wallet. seek others of non-aggressive intentions/behaviours. that's the spirit, moving you.
pay no heed/monIE to the greed/fear based walking dead.
each harmed innocent carries with it a bad toll. it will be repaid by you/us. the Godless felons will not be available to make reparations.
pay attention. that's definitely affordable, plus you might develop skills which could prevent you from being misled any further by phonIE ?pr? ?firm? generated misinformation.
good work so far. there's still much to be done. see you there. tell 'em robbIE.
the rest of the wwworld is laughing/crying at/for US in sympathy/disgust, as we fall/jump into the daze of the georgewellian corepirate nazi life0cide, whilst criticizing their ip gangsters, which are also members of the walking dead.
like duh
Oh! Canada!
Our home and native land!
How a freakin' spelling lesson or a freaki' grammar lesson instead?

Well half the comedians in Hollywood are Canadians (Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Martin Short, Dan Akroyd, Andrea Martin and a bunch of others I can't think of right now...)
OK guys, let's hear it...
Our country reeks of trees,
our yaks are really large
and they smell like rotting beef-carcasses.
And we have to clean up after them
and the saddle sores are the best.
We proudly wear women's clothing, and
searing sand blows up our skirts.
And the buzzards, they soar overhead and
poisonous snakes will devour us whole,
our bones will bleach in the sun.
And we will probably go to hell
and that is our great reward
for being the-uh Roy-al
Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.
