Miscellaneous rambling: elementary school, books, kiddo napping, free time and it's Friday night.

I have a couple of photos from the kindergarten Thanksgiving program and Laurel's school photo to post in the next couple of days. (I promised Sass I would post that!) Apparently I'm also now the lead room parent, since the other volunteers I've talked to (two of the three) signed up with the intention to only be the lead room parent if nobody else

What's a transputer?

[oddharmonic]

The Transputer was a microprocessor chip that was thought to be the Next Big Thing in the 1980s.

I never think to watch Numb3rs anymore, but were I there with you, I would totally express my geek love, as well.

You are not alone, dear one.
hehehehe ;)

I have a book on Occam, and have occasionally bid on Transputers on eBay.

This is all three of the original data books which includes all of the technical specs. Somewhere I have the same for the i860, Intel's first bid at RISC (smokes at graphics, with on-chip math and image processing, but not so great at sound processing).

The Transputer books are worth their weight in gold. Or, perhaps a bit more. They can't be found anywhere I've looked. I actually purchased them directly from Inmos (which had become Thompson-SGS, by then).

Looking forward to photos.

And I still can't believe Laurel is such a big girl!
