A while ago, Mike, Ken, Carl and myself got invited at an evening talk at the Computer History Museum featuring two brilliant hosts: Dan Lickly, original AGC programmer, and Charles Simonyi of Xerox Alto, Microsoft Word and space tourism fame. This is my redux version of this fascinating event. Sorry for the coughs, I had a bit of a cold while recording this. My favorite quotes of the evening from Dan: explaining what the AGC did in the Apollo mission: “Everything!” and explaining scaling: "We were going to end up exactly half way to the Moon, or exactly twice as far".
