Actually, well before the first u-processors.  The first stack 
architecture computers I can remember came from Burroughs, a company 
that was always just a couple of steps ahead of the pack which, 
unfortunately, was far enough to lead to their ultimate demise.  The 
Burroughs D-824 [I think I remember that right] was a room full of 7 
foot cabinets that ran the back-up air defense system for NORAD in the 
late 60's and early 70's.  SW was written in JOVIAL.

I wish I understood the issue with band changing.  All of my radios 
[FT-847, TS-850, KX1, K2, and K3] have "band-up/band-down" buttons which 
has always worked for me.
