Just worked on some vintage PCs I picked up last December and found an interesting disc drive in one of them that I mistook for a regular CD/DVD player. It turned out to be a Phase-change Dual (PD) drive! Never heard of it before but it's fascinating.

Not sure if the drive works yet. I need to sort out a new hard drive, windows installation, etc.
But when I do... it's going to be fun finding out!

Just about everything the #Mac brought to #technology was already there a year before with the failed @Apple@twitter.com Lisa, that launched on January 19, 1983. https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/01/19/apple-lisa-changed-computing-40-years-ago-but-the-world-didnt-notice?utm_medium=rss #TechnologyHistory #ComputingHistory #SiliconValley via @appleinsider@twitter.com

In an increasingly global world, imagine if you could see where and when new #ideas, #businesstrends, and even #technologies first emerged in #society and then explore how they spread over #time and #space. Using #AI and unconventional #datasources there are several new ways to map the global birth, adoption and diffusion of #emergingtechnologies
