Cool!
Being the aircraft afficionado that I am, I thought I'd put together the following list of the general types of aircraft and missiles that appear in the film, in order of appearance:
Boeing B-47 Stratojet
Northrop F-89 Scorpion
Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star
Northrop F-89 Scorpion
Two missiles on left: Bell Labs/Western Electric/Douglas Nike Ajax
Lone missile on right: Bell Labs/Western Electric/Douglas Nike Hercules
North American F-86 Sabre (squadron on ground)
Northrop F-89 Scorpion
Boeing B-52 Stratofortress (three in formation)
Boeing B-47 Stratojet (about seven in formation)
Boeing B-47 Stratojet (taking off and landing, drag chute deployed on landing)
Boeing B-52 Stratofortress (on ground)
Boeing B-52 Stratofortress (scale model)

Punch Cards!
I'm too young (at 37.. HAH!) to remember them, but it seems amazing that data input was actually done at one time via punch cards.
Also amazing was the sheer size of the mainframes back in the days. It certainly was more awe-inspiring and impressive back then.

I to remember those. Especially for certain companies that dealt with hydro as an example that had those. Along with showing on the make up dial on the punch cards to show where the dials were at. II think in fair comparison today's modern Scientific calculater has more computational power now than that kind of machine. Bu still itwas a good work in progress with the diferent types of technologies. Like the reel to reel tapes, drums, and magnetic cores I think they were also called in there.

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

I'm in a pretty big retro mood at the moment cause my Senior Project revolves around a 50's computer and retro theme. I've still got tons of other research to do. At the moment things like these videos have given me ideas for my project. I'm just ready to graduate. I'm fed up with being a student.

Hey, my dad used to work at a company that used punch-cards! And I think he still has a few around somewhere, too.
Oh, and he got to tour through...either ENIAC or UNIVAC, I forget which one. Anyway, he's been _inside_ one of those giant old computers that is a whole building (or at least room). Yeah.
He also used to go around pointing at my Nintendo and going "That little box...what that thing can do used to take A WHOLE ROOM back in the '50s! Man, they'd want that thing if they knew about it..." I don't know about the Nintendo, exactly...it's only a game system and not a very complicated one (I'm talking about the 8-bit NES, here). But our modern computers....yeah. It's freaky to think how far we've come and how fast, ain'tit?
I oughta get out that old National Geographic article about "The Chip" from 1982 (yes, exactly) and read it again just to see how far we've come since _then_, alone...

I love retro design and computing - only 50 years and my mobile phone probably wields more processing power than those computers - and I never have my phone turned on. All that power hardly used today was completely cranked out to the max back then.

That's one reason I love looking at these old monster sized number chrunchers. Some of the old computers look like something out of a scifi movie and have a true presence in their environment. It's a marvel they managed to maintain a system that took up an entire building. There's no telling what kind of system bugs they had to deal with on a regual basis.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion https://www.flickr.com/photos/blue_bezel/ |

It just occured to me that the SAGE Air Defense computer reminds me of the computer, COLOSSUS, from the 1970 sci-fi classic COLOSSUS: The Forbin Project.

I was going to buy one on e-bay, but I was told that it has to be compatible with the "Super Stinky Slap Stick" card... or at least one that is "Stinky" compatible... lol...
To be serious for a moment... It is amazing how far we have came along. Imagine if we took even the most budget computer of today back in time with us. I would go straight to the Pentagon and sell it for millions...
But then again... that would cause a paradox... I don't care... the rent is due... lol...abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Oh, yeah, I've seen "Colossus"! That one TRON cartoon I have around here somewhere contains a sneaky reference to that, in fact.
