Truly MEGA pixel

[Mike McCarty]

I like the steering wheel.

In a different life I was a computer operator on an IBM 360 mod 30, I think it was. It was not quite this crude but occupied a space almost this big. It had 32K, and when we upgraded to a 64K machine they put the old CPU on the service elevator, took it down to the street where they pushed it into the back of a large Mayflower van lines trailer. When the movers turned and walked back out of the trailer the CPU (then valued at millions I was told) followed them out and did a nose dive off the back of that van and on to Milam street in downtown Houston. Quite a stink that caused.

Such progress and still we struggle to make a beer which tastes great and is less filling.

In regards to the supposed home computer... oops.

How bout that, it really was a steering wheel.

So much for the theory that objects get greyer and softer as they go further into the distance.

A year ago, I worked for Oce Display Graphics, which manufactures photo-quality large-format printers (75" wide by unlimited roll-fed length).

A buddy of mine has a digital printing operation with a solvent based printer that prints 16' wide by whatever length required. They print out those banners that you see hanging off the side of high rise buildings.
