BBC iPlayer have put more of their archive on the system and I stumbled across this one this morning:

Fascinating to see how they view the up and coming microprocessor, even more amazing is to get to see a technology program and not get a mention of Microsoft etc. Probably as they were only a couple of years old!
Also shows you how far technology has advanced in the last 35+ years.

Very neat. This ought to be required viewing for anyone learning about computers.

Back in the good old days when microchips were soldered together from discrete components...

Fascinating programme.
I think they say, if I remember from watching the programme, that a chip has 266,000 transistors(back in 1978).
An i7 has in the region of 2 billion transistors.
[edit]
I am out by a factor of about 10 on the 1978 count above(29k not 266k) and slightly over generous on the i7 -Transistor count history[^]

Fascinating to see how much and how fast we have progressed!

Still one of the best things on TV.

I see you are again in your literature trip. Have you finished this one yet ?

Not for me you understand, DD was saying he wants to raise the bar on his literature intake.

Ah, interesting, I thought he was already owning a book and would not need another one.

Yes, but he really wanted to know where Spot ran to!

I guess the main character of the first one was Charly, but he was hard to follow in the story.

Of course he needs more books. He's finished colouring in the first one.

I was going to buy a book of Fairy Stories for my daughter from Amazon, but some fella called Dawkins has been putting some really bad reviews up that have put me right off.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

You had to bring that Sock Cooker up didn't you!

Well, if you will insist on believing everything you read in the Daily Fail...

It was reported sensibly by Aunty this morning on the Home Service. Pure Wuckfittery on the part of Doofus Dawkins.
|
|
|
|
|
Aunty has since apologised to Dawkins for believing what the Fail said and not checking it themselves.

"There is a very interesting reason why a prince could not turn into a frog. It is statistically too improbable," Dawkins reportedly said during a talk at a science festival. He has since protested at the way his comments have been portrayed in the media.
It reads to me that he is backtracking of his Shark Jump.

So the DF takes his comments, twists them into something he didn't say, and when he protests he's "backtracking" on something he never said in the first place?
