[Mgs] Looking for 6V batteries for MGA

[Barrie Robinson]

Folks,

I was with Marconi in UK for years around mid 60's selling "real 
time" computers for defence, air traffic control, electricity grid 
control, and am amazed at how dumb today's "commercial" computing is. 
We had tracker balls ( a wow "invention" by a later US company - 
Apple??), we had the touch screen (later "invented by Sylvania)' we 
had  what is now touted as "multi-tasking" and guess what?  We had 
the USB only more powerful ( you could string CPUs together and share jobs !!!)

As to programming - MS must be the worst
