Paul Mison’s random stuff that doesn’t go elsewhere. Is it microblogging, or microactivity? (Previously known as ‘tumblr is my sock drawer’, for reasons that are somewhat unclear.)Tumblr (3.0; @blech)http://notes.husk.org/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1zf4jJr3V1qz4vjro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.tnmoc.org/40/section.aspx/27">Elliott 803 computer launched</a>, The National Museum Of Computing:</p> <blockquote>The Elliott 803 was a small computer manufactured by the British company Elliott Brothers in the 1960s. About 250 were built and most British universities and colleges bought one.</blockquote> <blockquote>The 800 series started with the 801, a one-off test machine built in 1957. The 802 was a production model but only seven were sold between 1958 and 1961. The short-lived 803A was built in 1959 and first delivered in 1960; the 803B was built in 1960 and first delivered in 1961. Elliott subsequently developed the much faster Elliott 503 computer to be software compatible.</blockquote>http://notes.husk.org/post/20502240749http://notes.husk.org/post/20502240749Thu, 05 Apr 2012 02:46:16 +0100imagephotographelliot 803computer1960suniversityeducation
