The question is, which street? I mean, that is quite a difficult question.Which … street … should … be … named … for … Douglas … Adams.(That was me thinking very carefully.)What is the ANSWER to this most difficult and intriguing question….Well, as you know, I have a real nice Linux supercomputer so I fed the question to the computer … some time ago … and it has come up with an answer. Click on the computer to find out the answer…
I had to click just to see in which city, not which street needs to be renamed….
To me that picture looks more like a telephone switching center. While bits of it may be a computer, most of it would be I/O cards.
“To me that picture looks more like a telephone switching center.

It was no happenstance that the engineers who worked on the first computers in the UK were part of the Post Office, which at the time was responsible for the UK telephone system.
OK, OK, so it is not my computer, I admit it.But it is funny you should mention it. I’m writing a post on this particular computer as we speak. Stay tuned!(Oh, yes, it is a computer, not a switchboard!)
