Computers Granted, the folder of this name on the JVM Archival Media disc included in this U of I accession doesn't directly involve MRC or WLC, but yet, in a way it does, as it describes rather nicely the 'state of the art' in home computing in those 'early days', and by inference, focuses on the incredible difference of how MRC Engineers had to go about their design tasks of producing 'cutting edge' high-speed OMR Scanners in those days. What, no desktop computers to help with design analyses, calculations, drawings, drafting of manuals, preparation of parts lists, graphical views for users, cataloging of components, spares, and on and on? Yep, that's the way it was! I have transcribed the Original PARADE Sheet text from the February 2, 1977 issue of PARADE Magazine (typically, a supplement in the Des Moines Sunday Register) into an MS Word file, which also includes embedded JPEG image files that were shown in the original article: 1977_02_06_A Computer in Every Home_ORG.doc
