A talk on the SAGE System (1956-63) will be given at Moffett Field
on Tuesday evening May 19, 5:30-7 PM. SAGE was Semi-Automatic Ground
Environment, embodied as 22 monster computers (250 tons) each with
49,000 vacuum tubes consuming 3 megawatts of power. Parts of the
last SAGE system, decommissioned in 1982, will be behind the speakers.
