computing culture

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

The Jargon File (which also happens to mirror that version of "The Story of Mel") is well worth a read if only for interest. I suspect the section you're particularly talking about is 'Hacker Folklore' about halfway down the page.

If you're interested, here's the programming manual for the LGP-30: http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/lgp-30-man.html
