That top right picture is *mumbles* years old and I didn't have a grey beard then. Now I do so come see that AND both Positron 9000-based monsters. I'm also bringing my HP1660A logic analyser so I can probe the depths of one or possibly both of them over the course of the weekend 😁

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Professor Sir Tony Hoare. Known for the Quicksort algorithm and major contributions to programming languages, his legacy continues to shape computing.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
