well it powered the Williams Whirlwind, best pinball machine ever made, i had to program it's successor the 68000 as used in the Amiga....then we had
Sinclair's brilliant use of BASIC with the Z80- which was developed to control cruise missiles.
In short, every tech advance has been made available because of war; that's the only time a gubmint will fund a program properly, is if they can
weaponise it.
This saddens me greatly, because there are over 200 scientists currently DYING, who could solve all the world's problems in
less than a
decade.....edit on 30-7-2016 by playswithmachines because: typo's
