Heh. That's a name I hadn't heard in a while.
Your Tricord system was probably designed by a guy named Rick Nicholson

Also, the "maybe-available" 960 is the *spare* machine. The fate of
the production machines are in question. They would likely go through

It is still not clear if the 960 is to be kept at Vandenberg! This is

Hi,
It has come to my attention that a CDC Cyber 180-960 is available. Apparently
this is from a supplier that was supporting Vandenburg AFB (California) with
spares. Since Vendenburg is decommissioning it’s Cyber systems, the supplier
wants to get rid of the spare machine that they have.

Just for fun, I went to the bank and bought about $1000 in half dollar and
dollar coins. My son collects them, and we went through them all. We did find
some silver half dollars. The ones we are not keeping now go to whatever fast
food or corner store is needed. Some like them, some hate them!

I have not seen any half dollars in circulation in some time. They are just

The big failure of the Susan B. Anthony coin was that it was about the

I'm looking for documentation covering a board set which came with my new

a newer version than what is covered in the 1979 manual scan which I found on
Bitsavers. I have pictures of the board set on my blog:
