IBM 705/705 II/705 III

Appendix E of the IBM 705 manual indicates that there are some differences between them; however, the "Programmer's Notes" seem to indicate how a programmer could write code that would run on all three machines. The difference between the 705 and 705 II seems to be 20K vs. 40K of memory; the 705 III could have 40K or 80K, supported indirect addressing, and had some other differences, including differences in I/O instructions.

IIRC, 20K-40K-80K was in characters and with 10^3 'k' rather than 2^10 'K' just to clarify is someone happens upon this. I remember getting quite the kick out of: They wrote a 705 emulator for the 702, probably the first emulator in history. Thanks for the link. If you don't think they should get separate listings on IBM mainframe, you can undo edit 595256825. Featherwinglove (talk) 17:10, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: I wish I could remember the guy's name who, I think it was late in 1961, got all the managers from all the different places together in one gathering, put a bunch of nice food on the table, locked the doors, and said "We all need to start being compatible with each other" and eventually the System/360 came to be.

Disambiguation link notification for March 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited In the Name of the King, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brian White (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:57, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet catch, thanks! Featherwinglove (talk) 14:58, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

October 2018

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, as you did at User talk:Dlohcierekim, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. 331dot (talk) 14:58, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It was not a personal attack, I am pissed off at all of you. I am pissed off at literally every Wikipedia administrator, including you. And I explain exactly why: I have spent an awful lot of time and energy on this site and you guys just delete it and act like a bag of dicks. It won't make any difference if you make this account officially blocked from editing because you revert all my edits anyway. I just want to let you know how I feel about it, and if you feel insulted, I've felt insulted every time this has happened. So tough shit and good bye. Featherwinglove (talk) 15:14, 3 October 2018 (UTC) P.S. Your behaviour has spawned competition already, so there will be very little effect on the internet if this entire Foundation goes under. I'm sure that's not your only warning based on what I've seen all over your talk pages.[reply]
