Thanks for the link! I spent a good hour - as is most always the case with Nova 
programs. Well told story and lots of vintage computers and telco gear in their 
natural environment! We should start a contest to name them all. Many are easy 
(for us that is). Here is a more obscure one that picked my HP test equipment 
collector's interest. The "logic analyzer" at 16:47 is actually an old HP 1640A 
serial data analyzer (the first one they made? from 1979, $5800, predates the 
later 495x), with the awesome maximum capture speed of 19200 bauds and gigantic 
buffer depth of 2048 characters.
