Default It was 38 years ago today...........

What still fascinates me about those early years - is the electronics, ie
computers that they used.
In the 1960's saw the first discrete transistors and maybe the very early
intergrated circuits.
By todays standards (or even what was becoming available in the 1980's) the
computer power may have been fairly "primitive". Which makes their
achievements all the more spectacular.
