Default PZL compass repair - Tom ?

Yup, certainly before power-point but I couldn't
figure out how else to describe that effect.
I was placing spacewar on an Imlac graphics
system, IIRC predates PDP-11 but later
than the PDP-1.

We're turning into old farts.

See ya, Dave

Remember Todd - you were there, right ?


Yes, a cherished memory, but somewhat before Power-Point
animations. IIRC, at that time, we were still sneaking in
and using the PDP-11 to play spacewar.
