Unfortunately for IT history buffs, I left the brightest highlight out of my earlier note about the IOOS - DMAC Steering Team meetings. Somehow I forgot to mention having dinner at the Sea Catch restaurant in the Canal Square Building which historians recognize as "the birthplace of the original computer." In the late 19th century, Herman Hollerith converted the structure into a factory for manufacturing & printing punched card tabulating machines. After a couple mergers, this became the International Business Machines Corporation in 1924.For more historical details and the menu: http://www.seacatchrestaurant.com/history/ -- Ben _______________________________________________ galeon mailing list galeon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list information, to unsubscribe, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/
