– That is utterly startling. Another interesting fact about the AN/FSQ-7 is that it is the largest computer ever, occupying almost a half-acre of space.

I included the AN/FSQ-7 and SAGE in a recent blog entry: Ten Servers that Changed the World.

Anyhow, thanks for posting the summaries to these lectures, it looks like a really enthralling course with great presenters.

Just use ‘csep590a’ as the username and password (without the quotes, of course). Its just there to detract spam bots.
