Daniel NeumanBoards of Canada - Olson, on a PDP-1 from 1959. 🎶
”The PDP-1 was never intended to produce audio […] It does however have six "program flags," which are flip-flops wired to six light bulbs on the control panel. A CPU instruction provides the ability to turn these light bulbs on or off via software.”

I like the old guy inserting the paper punch tape into the PDP-1.
Cool shit! :)

Which was equally remarkable.
As one comment puts it.. "A 27-year-old song being played on a 66-year-old machine operated by an 84-year-old wizard."

It's very cool.
