Early Computer, AD1960

This computer is one I used to write with about 50 years ago.   In fact it was in the early 1960’s.   It consisted of a large screen (blackboard), a keyboard (portable typewriter on a TV tray), memory (card catalog behind chair), internet (books in a precious library),  and flash memory (notebooks and looseleaf binders to the left of the typewriter) to record information taken off the “screen”  before it was trashed (with an eraser).  From such as this came great works.  And at this time it was about as good as a computer could be, and it laid the groundwork for that which followed.
