So would you pay $950 / week to have a teletype machine next to your bed? History of computers is wild.

Hackaday · Retrotechtacular: The Noisy Home Computer From 1967[Rex Malik] didn’t need an alarm clock. That’s because he had one of two “home computer terminals” next to his bed and, as you can see in the video below, it made quite a ra…
BREAKING NEWS: The #PC that literally says "IBM" on it was never a true "IBMer"! 
Apparently, if you didn't have a secret handshake and a corner office, your computer was just a poser. 
Better luck next time, silicon wannabes!

Oh yum. The Fedora Hat from FastBASIC's demo programs.
Interestingly, some casual quacking failed to find any information about the origin of the Fedora Hat 3D plot; what field of science it emerged from, what it originally represented, when it was first rendered, on what hardware. If anyone knows, please share.

Today in 1947 Grace Hopper found the first computer bug.
In many reports the date is 9th of September 1947. There are some theories about this discrepancy. One theory is they actually found the bug on 7th of September but realized it's importance two days later and wrote it down in the log. Another theory is the bug was presented in a meeting two days later as the cause of the problem and became known to a wider group of people.
It's also possible the date in her notebook was a simple mistake and the 9th is the real and official date.
Anyways, she found it!

"For decades, fragments and unofficial copies of Microsoft’s 6502 BASIC have circulated online, mirrored on retrocomputing sites, and preserved in museum archives. Coders have studied the code, rebuilt it, and even run it in modern systems. Today, for the first time, we’re opening the hatch and officially releasing the code under an open-source license."
