Legendary talk by #JayForrester - one of the #BrightBoys (book by Tom Green) which I highly recommend which tells the story behind Whirlwind, and the beginning of the #DigitalAge

I have a question. I am counting the number of computers in the encyclopedia built by undergrads at different universities . Was Gordon Brown involved in building the whirlwind?
Legend.
