Bendix G15 Computer - Smithsonian - 04.apr.03

Another cold rainy day. It reminds me of a summer day in Southeast Alaska. Short, sandals, wool socks and a fleece pullover.

The Bendix G15 - first computer I ever programmed. What you have up here is the deluxe configuration - complete with a tape drive. I think the Smithsonian has it on display because it of its color - bright turquoise. Carlton asked when was it made; or 1956 or so says I. That's 50 years old says he. Damn, that was a long time ago. I must be old.
