Refers to the NCCS’ ‘Steam Days’ which are Saturdays
Elliott 803 tape deck:Modified film-handling hardware
Elliott 803 manuals:Tony Hoare was largely responsible for Elliott ALGOL, a subset of ALGOL 60 … cf his Turing Award Lecture in the CACM

Robert Noyce’s first integrated circuit was 1961(1965) Transistors on a chip doubling every two years: has held since thenAdded to that transistors were getting quicker 2x power per 18 months
50 years = 2^25 multiple of transistors per chip … = x 32m
