Latest in the willy-waving contest: in the 1970s the national grid was
monitored and analysed with a Ferranti Argus 500 machine with 24KB RAM and a
2MB disk. It was common for American visitors to believe that was just driving
the control engineers' displays, and where was the main computer?
24-bit assembler code. Those were the days - some of my very best. No concept
of a file or a file-system.
