How It Works...The Computer

I love Ladybird books. Best thing ever to come out of Loughborough - even better than Louise Rainbow. When I was a kid, I took very little else out of the library. I was a literal-minded, near-autistic geek even then.

So I was dead chuffed to find the entirety of How It Works...The Computer reproduced here. This book was one that - if I remember correctly - I actually owned (1971 edition). I think it was a present by a well-meaning relative to attempt to "get me into computers." Stupid fools: what were they meddling with? Anyway: check out the small digital computer designed for the businessman, and imagine what his iPod looked like... My. How times change.

Thank you, I've always wondered how you spelled the place that sounded like "luff-budah." Seriously.
