Comment on About by Julie

HI, I am in Oxfordshire England. I came to Brooklyn some four years ago in search of Hackers for good to be involved in an amazing global project where the hackers would prove the champions. ( I came back to England and got sick for a few years and now I am “back on the block”The project is necessarily in stealth mode. Therefore, I have to speak to someone in person and I have to know that this person is one with integrity. However, nobody ever got back to me no matter what I tried so I could never come and chat about the project…Not even a phone call! So I wondered if you as a group have any or some understandable policy of not getting back or some secrecy stuff that I need to understand and stops you from answering enquiries?

What do I have to do to talk to you lot?

I promise this is a wonderful opportunity for hackers everywhere and for all the best reasons….JD

Of course alternatively, an LED segment display would work, perhaps with the segments as outlines. But I think you could do better with the ability to overlap elements. I’m sure there’s a set of segments, that would allow the beautiful rounded fonts, but without having 10 different figures. parts of 8 could be shared with 7, 2, perhaps 5, and so on.

Great idea.
Do you think this would work on a larger scale, ie making the letters perhaps a meter high?

Check bitsavers.org first before you scan any manuals. On the other hand, if you have something not on their site, Al Kossow would be happy to take it.

I used a punch machine like this in my first few years of college. IBM, but not sure of the model number.

Are you interested in selling IBM 129. We are a reseller and have an application for this dinosaur. I actually operated one of these when i was a teenager
