I picked up a DVD that a guy makes and sells on ebay.  It's a couple of
IBM videos from the 50s.

One of them is a documentary on SAGE and BRAIN, the other is a series of
interviews and information on computer intelligence.

The SAGE video is really good, showing SAGE in operation, and models of
the typical SAGE blockhouse, and demos of its operation.

Anyway, I've got some other targets for book and I just patiently search
and gather over time.

I also have tons of product information from the 1980s.

I can't wait until I am old and crusty, so can I frighten kids by
showing them ads for 4K RAM expansions.
