1952: UNIVAC
Univac was the primary product of the Eckert-Mauchly computer company. Not only was it faster, but it demonstrated the shift from base-ten to binary code. A Univac was used by CBS news to predict the outcome of the 1952 Presidential Election. That event brought computing into the public eye, according to many historians. It wouldn't be long before scientific focus shifted to microprocessors.
[Not only was it binary machine language, but to manually program it, you had to start with base-10, convert that mentally to base-8, and then mentally convert that to base-2, or binary.]

This computer, unfurled to scientists on Feb. 14, helped launch the computer revolution and the U.S. tech dominance for decades. Few suspected actually what those next 60 years would bring. The evolution of computing devices has come a long way since the days of ENIAC.
[The way I see it, this was the modern equivalent of man inventing fire. Today's PC are a much improved version of that invention, in essence, a match or a butane ligther. Software is the fuel for that energy source. I don't think we have reached a point yet where you could compare the computer to the combustion engine. After that would be the progress that produces the computer equivalent of a jet engine. Of course, some marketing weenie is going to read this and start trying to refer to their products as jet engines.]

Ghosts Of Mars
For weeks, rumors have spread across Mars...
from outposts to settlements...
from town to town.
Something that had been buried for centuries has just been uncovered.
And as this mysterious force moves across the southern valley...
it leaves behind only silence...
and death.
Take your seats, please.
I just talked with the Cartel.
They're concerned that the rumors are getting out of control.
They'd like to make a statement in two hours.
Some of you may not know we've had another incident.
At 1520 hours yesterday, a freight train...
Trans Marineris 74 Yankee...
returned from the southern valley on autopilot.

Microsoft releases XP as new judge gets antitrust case
By John Hendren
Seattle Times Washington bureau
WASHINGTON — Microsoft yesterday handed its latest operating system to computer makers as its antitrust case — and the company's fate — was handed to a new judge.
A federal appeals court sent the landmark antitrust case back to the district court where it began, while Microsoft executives 3,000 miles away in Redmond were preparing for a ceremony in which they would give Windows XP to executives of Compaq, Dell and other computer manufacturers.
Within two hours, the lower court had signaled it would proceed quickly, assigning Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee and former Justice Department prosecutor, to oversee the remedy phase of the suit.

New judge to decide penalty in Microsoft antitrust case
By Karen Gullo
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly was named today to decide how Microsoft should be punished for violating federal antitrust laws.
Kollar-Kotelly, an appointee of President Clinton, takes over the case from U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, who had ordered Microsoft split in two. A federal appeals court reversed Jackson's breakup order in June and today ordered the case be returned to a lower court under direction of a new judge.

Memorable quotes for
Action in the North Atlantic (1943)
Johnnie Pulaski: If a torpedo ever connected with this ship, we'd go up like a match connected to cellophane. You ain't got a chance!
Boats O'Hara: [Repeating] You ain't got a chance.
Johnnie Pulaski: And "Boom!" You're in the hero department!
Boats O'Hara: Yeah.
Johnnie Pulaski: Just like that and the next thing you know, you're pickin' a milky way outta your ears.
Whitey Lara: Okay, okay, so what?
Johnnie Pulaski: Whatta ya mean, "Okay?"
Chips Abrams: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I think you got the wromg angle. The way I see it if your ship's number is up, you're gonna get it.
Whitey Lara: Yeah, and suppose my number ain't up?
Chips Abrams: Then, brother, the torpedoes can connect right where yer sittin' and still nuthin' will happen.
Boats O'Hara: Well, I want no torpedoes where I'm sittin'. I'm a sensitive man, I am.
Johnnie Pulaski: [to Chips] Whatta you know about it? You carpenters got sawdust for brains!

What happened at Shining Canyon?
Last Friday at 1750, we were slamming through a dust storm...
on the edge of the southern valley.
74 Yankee was an ore hauler...
