| Description |
This machine, an LGP-30, was originally designed by Royal McBee (a typewriter manufacturer) who decided to get out of the computer business and sold the rights to Control Data who then "looked after" the few that were built. This model of computer achieved literary fame in a "Blank Verse Poem" about a programmer named "Mel". It appeared as a posting on an internet "board" in the early 1980's - when this machine had already passed in to history decades earlier. The document has been preserved at http://www.cs.utah.edu/~elb/folklore/mel.html |
