Now THAT would be good news!

It was, like I said, in another life, probably 70's/80's.
Its topic was more about what we then called 'Die by Wire'
but the arrival of digital readouts and total lack of 
triangulabity(?) or feedback made my blood boil. All for 
naught, the Air France crash into the Ocean became an all
too sad example. Oh, BTW, I don't think anyone would be 
able to find it anymore, it was a letter to the editor or 
whatever they called it then. Keywords to search for that 
I remember are "wire monkey", "triangulate", "die by wire", 
possibly "ADF", "rule", the rest I don't remember. Being 
79 you could still shave with my memory; alas it ain't 
any wider now than the sharp edge of the blade :-)

Not really, never studied humanities much, it was always
science, math, engineering. Except when I just 'had' to 
pad with some humanities credits so I took a 'real smirky' 
swing at theology, english lit, and Communication Arts, 
never regretted any of it!
