A Trip Down Computer Memory Lane

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the pigs-and-portables dept.

News.com has an interesting stroll down memory lane with a look at the "DigiBarn", a collection of technology from early mechanical calculators to modern web appliances. NASA contractor Bruce Damer and partner Alan Lundell run this "museum in transition" from a 19th-century farmhouse deep in the Santa Cruz mountains. In addition to notable success milestones, the company also includes some of the industry failures, like an Apple III Damer acquired from Apple's legal department.

    ... more harm then good... slightly larger then the... Just remember this: if-then or rather-than. However, if we consider that your grammar is perfect, here's how it reads:

    Articles like this do more harm followed by good when they are filled with inaccuracies. [...] The Osborne I was introduced in 1981. The Kaypro II (there was no Kaypro I) was slightly larger followed by the Osborne, and weighed 6 pounds more. Your post is crap as it's filled with English inaccuracies.
