[GreenKeys] Dunderklumpen

[Ray Robinson]

Hi Gang,

Just got some old computer junk from the 1970s
and gave some boxes of CDC1700 manuals to the Australian Computer Museum.
I mentioned I was going to keep the console and 
the respondent gave me this story that I will share.

> This is all that is left of the QANTAS system,
> ATEC I think it was called, installed by Aerospatial,
> CDC computer in a suite of big cabinets.
> I know the tech who maintained it,
> I plan to keep the ASR33 teletype (even though its a floor mount big
> bugger),
>
> I got a lovely story about Swedish programmers who called them
> 'Dunderklumpen'. This was a childrens story character who was very heavy &
> very noisy - spot on!
