Saw them play the back room (aka the Fat Black Pussycat) at the Feenjon Cafe' on MacDougal Street sometime in the winter of 1969... Later the next year I helped occupy the Courant Physics Institute at NYU just a few blocks away during the rebellion and student strike following the US invasion of Cambodia and Laos <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_strike_of_1970>. We held an Arpa/DarpaNet midi machine hostage for two days and the discussions between those Transcendental Students (WU) revolved around whether we should take a fire axe to it... The consensus was, literally. "Piss on it" (probably did tens of thousands in damage) and fubar the airhandling system to try to overheat it to death. In retrospect, we should have beheaded it... Just on general principle... No one got popped. As the Tac Squad barged the building we all blended in with the mobs of students in the halls, and out the door we went. And a riotous good time was had by all! Rr

My memory banks return surprisingly few.

Jose Canseco making his John Connor transition I see.. That original ENIAC was about 10000x less powerful than a pocket calculator, but it all had to start somewhere. Actually Charles Babbage had it all down for in the 19th century conceptually using mechanical difference and analytical engines, except for a couple issues - concept of entropy had not been understood yet, and they had major trouble making the gears he wanted to his extremely precise specs. Recommend "The Difference Engine" by Gibson & Sterling, cool alt-history book, more or less kicked off steampunk (but don't judge it by that distinction alone)
