all aboard! :D
“80 years of finding flaws” what a negative attitude Mr Sperry’s descendants have!
Also, did he make a computer? I read in the big red 4.4BSD book there was once a computer called the Perkin Elmer which sounds rather excellent. I hope for a return to this naming scheme.
sperry made everything! sort of.
