I remember that, as I'm sure a lot of list members do. I also remember
a show called _Fast_Forward_ on PBS in the late 1970's. The show's intro
was a montage of historical photographs... early telegraph equipment,
telephone exchanges, then video of "up-to-date" computer equipment like
IBM, CDC and Honeywell big iron. I'm a little fuzzy on the content of the
show, I seem to remember basics of Boolean logic and digital design. It
was hosted by the same guy each week, I can close my eyes and see his face
but can't remember his name. I've never been able to find anything about
it on the web, mostly because the title generates too much noise in
searches.
