Hi Lou.

Thank you for that.

I was able to follow it all except for the close MGR. I couldn't find it. Can you please tell me where it is?

If you could have seen the multi-million dollar simulator we had in the 60's you would laugh. Now, today, the simulators we train in are super, but back then the CS-727 would have been heaven. I wish I would have kept my old 727 books.

I can imagine. I joined the Australian Army in 1979 and was in the Royal Australian Corps of Signals. Where I worked, we were using a computer that was built in the early 60's, and it was the size of a house! I reckon that most modern Desktop Computers would blow it away when it comes to computations. It was that big computer that got me into computers in the first place.
