Computer Learning

Yes Virginia, there really was a bit bucket!

She might have to visit a computer museum :o)

Gosh, i think paper tape was even before BobZ's time.

I forget, but something about using a Basic program
to boot-strap those early small computers?

Gosh, aren't you too old to have such a good memory :o)

My father was in the Navy, but on boats "above" the water line.

THE BOAT is a film about war, about men at war.
THE BOAT is the story of young men, practically boys,
hungry for adventure... enticed by the marvels of technology.
... they set out to challenge the brutal forces of nature...
to battle an invisible enemy. Many are inexperienced.
They have yet to learn of the horrors of war;
they know neither the loneliness nor the desperation.
In the hell of submarine warfare, the alternatives are grim:
you either emerge unscathed or you perish.
Beneath the sea, there are no wounded.
Of the 40,000 men aboard German submarines in World War II,
30,000 did not return.
