I worked in the NATEK building in the 70s, and we had one of those behind glass across from my elevator. The acolytes worshiped it 24 hours a day.

My aunt worked as a secretary in the computer science department of the local college. My mother would go to lunch with her sometimes when I was a knee-high. I remember those huge, loud, hot machines with the nerdy guy taking punch card "programs" through the door to the computer room. How times have changed. :)

What are you doing here? Get back to your law studies!

I'm between classes and tearing up the wireless on my laptop.

That said, I have to go grab my seat in the back so my Civil Procedure prof won't hear me snoring. ;P
