[1401_interest] IBM Centennial videos

[Robert B Garner]

IBM's centennial on June 16 is approaching!
In recognition, here are two new IBM-produced videos:

1) The polished, fast-paced, 13-minute-long IBM Centennial Film: 100 X 100 
- A century of achievements that have changed the world
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39jtNUGgmd4&NR=1
It includes the 1401 in its compendium of accomplishments.

2) The more geek-oriented, 30-minute IBM Centennial Film: They Were There 
- People who changed the way the world works
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrhDaAmn5Uw

features folks like Fred Brooks (360), our very own 1401-volunteer Bill 
Selmeier (http://ibm-1401.info/TeamBios.html#BillSelmeier) reminiscing on 
bar codes, Mark Dean (PC-AT, last Almaden director), Patty McHugh (PC 
motherboard), Greg Chaitin (801 compiler), Benoit Mandelbrot (fractals), 
Homer Ahr (Apollo 13), Ron Glover (policy letter #4), Jason Wilkinson 
(Sabre), Ralph Gomory (research VP 70-85), etc..  Its compelling 
background music was composed by Phillip Glass.

IBM's main centennial web site is  http://www.ibm.com/ibm100/us/en/

Enjoy,

- Robert

p.s.  The 1401 video "A Century of Smart:  The IBM 1401 (1959)" is still
