It's amazing to think a device created nearly 50 years ago was still in existence given all the advances in technology. It would be thought this device would long ago have met the scrap heap. I remember very vividly watching the continuous television coverage of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I was 11 years old, a couple of months shy of my 12th birthday and, watching all the coverage and dire commentary, wondering if I would actually see my 12th birthday...
