This is such a fascinating look back at computing history! It's incredible to see the origins of what would become such a pivotal technology. Thinking about the complexity involved in those early mainframes really makes you appreciate how far we've come. It also makes me chuckle a bit thinking about how these massive machines compare to even a simple game like Slope Unblocked today. Thanks for sharing this piece of history!
