ACM--The First Society in Computing--is proud to sponsor
* The Machine That Changed The World *
On Monday evening, April 6, 1992 at 9:00 PM EST, and on successive Mondays
until May 4, PBS will present "The Machine that Changed the World," 5 programs
on the history of the electronic computer and its impact on society.
Produced by WGBH Boston (makers of NOVA) and the BBC, and with major funding
provided by ACM and Unisys, the series highlights the fifty year revolution in
computing and information technology - a revolution that is still going on.
Beginning with World War II research and the ENIAC, which was co-invented by
J. Presper Eckert and the late John Mauchly (a founder of ACM). "The Machine
that Changed the World" follows the unpredictable course of information
technology from the room sized data processing centers of the 1960's to desktop
personal computers of the 1980's to virtual reality of the 1990's, describing
events that have altered society in profound and totally unexpected ways.
Check your local PBS listings for broadcast times on the following Monday
evenings:
o April 6 - "Giant Brains", covers the wartime events that led to the 1946
debut of ENIAC, the world's first general purpose electronic
computer.
o April 13 - "Inventing the Future", examines how the computer rose from
obscurity to become the engine that powers business throughout
the world.
o April 20 - "The Paperback Computer", explores how computers became small,
affordable and easy to use.
o April 27 - "The Thinking Machine", focuses on the most ambitious goal of
all - creating a computer that will vie with humans in
intelligence.
o May 4 - "The World at Your Fingertips" looks at the social revolution
wrought by computers - and the price we pay.

lavin (Anne R LaVin):
Gauss' rule for the determination of Easter
Definition: the symbol a//b applied to two positive integers a and b,
shall mean the integral quotient, exclusive of the remainder.
Thus, 1951//100 = 19.
Let N be the year of our Lord.
Let x = N//100 - N//400 - N//300
Let y = N//100 - N//400 - 2
Divide [ 19N - N//19 + 15 + x ] by 30, and call the remainder d
Divide [ 6(N + d + 1) - N//4 + y ] by 7, and call the remainder e
Then Easter is March (22 + d + e) *except* that
(1) if d = 29 and e = 6, then Easter is April 19;
(2) If d = 28 and e = 6, and if [ N - (19 * (N//19))] > 10,
then Easter is April 18.

Spot can't get email -- He's not allowed -- He's just a dog! Poor Spot!
... and there are treacherous steps down in front of both doors, which
could result in the malted milk ball getting off at the first stop and
then being crushed beyond ALL recognition before even getting its one
chance to roll off the platform and onto the third rail where it would
commune with the spirit of Velvis, the god of postage stamps six feet
across and covered with fuzzy black stuff."

MILITARY DEMOCRACY
In GDW's Traveller, a naval officer retiring after seven terms with
the rank of admiral receives exactly the same pension as one who retires
after seven terms with the rank of ensign.

When I find myself waxing philosophical, or maybe just waxing the floor, I
tend to believe that there are hundreds of little mauve guys hiding in my

do not think anything at all.

With all the fuss over the Michaelangelo Virus, I noticed that March 6
was also Ed McMahon's birthday. I can just see it now, on March 6, 1993
millions of PC users will be greeted with the message:
