These parts soon made [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I first learned about computer architecture back in the 1970s. Much of what I learned came from a set of  block diagrams for the old Whirlwind computer built at MIT.  A few years back I had the document scanned in. Yes, it&#8217;s built out of vacuum tubes. But it is also the complete design of [...]]]></description>
