What you’re looking at above is the computer that sent the very first email via ARPANET, 40-years ago on October 29, 1969. Simply put, ‘the message was sent from the UCLA SDS Sigma 7 Host computer to the SRI SDS 940 Host computer.’ Click here for first picture in gallery.
Like most systems of the era, the latter machine had a tiny core memory allowing between 16 and 64 kilowords.
