They'd apparently just shipped a computer to Karachi, so President wanted to visit. And the rest of us can play a game of "Spot the jfs" (clue - not the bloke in the brown raincoat)

That machine would be in an air conditioned office, and have about as much power as the display of a DAB radio. A reminder of a completely lost world, tape transports and fanfold listing paper, plus a paper tape device, all of them now as obsolete as the makes of car I can recognise. -- Last edit: 2017-03-12 20:55:01
