Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 32, No. 190. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London Hosted by King's Digital Lab www.dhhumanist.org Submit to: humanist@dhhumanist.org Date: 2018-11-16 03:17:45+00:00 From: Jim ODonnellSubject: Ibycus SC In the beginning, there was Willard. However, before there was Willard there was David Packard. (And before him, ok, Fr. Busa.) And sometime in the 1980s, Packard distributed a "microcomputer" (ut nostrates aiebant) called the Ibycus SC (for Scholarly Computer), optimized to do word searches on the newly-released first CD version of TLG. There's no money riding on this, but if there were, mine would be on 1985. Greg Crane's palmary history of the age covers everything that could possibly be covered except that particular date. Is there anyone on Humanist even older than I but with appropriately intact neurons and memories? With thanks, Jim O'Donnell Arizona State University _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://dhhumanist.org/Restricted List posts to: humanist@dhhumanist.org List info and archives at at: http://dhhumanist.org Listmember interface at: http://dhhumanist.org/Restricted/ Subscribe at: http://dhhumanist.org/membership_form.php
