Crystal Sets to Computers - A Personal Trip Along the Road of
Technology
By Bob Day
Los Angeles Computer Society JANUARY General Meeting
7 P. M. Tuesday, March 11, 2003,
Fellowship Hall, 8065 Emerson Ave. Los Angeles 90045
Many of us, in our earlier days, either played around with (or knew
someone who did) those marvelous "crystal set" radios. Bob Day is like us who experimented and went on to tinker with more exotic
electronics and computers.
Bob's reminiscences and personal experiences, will probably parallel
our own and remind us of early experiences ("learning" and otherwise). His presentation includes pictures and has been very
favorably commented by other user groups he has visited.
He draws on his experiences developing and working on military and
industrial electronics such as IFF systems, geophysical electronics for oil exploration, guided missiles and integration of shipboard
electronics and weapons systems.
And then he got a Commodore C64 and became addicted to computers.
We'll let Bob tell the rest. . . . . . . . . .
Open to the public. - - - - - - - Come and learn with us.
NOTE:
The usual "computer forums" for beginners and advanced users start
at 6 PM.
