More on Fisher Hall

Fisher Hall

Dennis,
I remember disassembling the old Burroughs vacuum tube digital computer in the electronics lab in the basement of Fisher after the IBM 360 arrived. I still use the FORTRAN I learned programming that old Burroughs. I retained one of its memory planes. A thousand bits of ferrite cores strung on copper wire. Far out!

Sorry to bother you again. I guess I really appreciate your news letter.
