The IBM 1620 was announced by IBM on October 21, 1959, and marketed as an inexpensive "scientific computer". After a total production of about two thousand machines, it was withdrawn on November 19, 1970. Modified versions of the 1620 were used as the CPU of the IBM 1710 and IBM 1720 Industrial Process Control Systems (making it the first digital computer considered reliable enough for real-time process control of factory equipment).

Hello anti - Really hot here today. New Prediction game would be good. If you like, I will start a thread on this site to gauge how many people would be keen to join in this season. What do you think ?

The Indian Massacre of 1622 took place in the English Colony of Virginia, in what now belongs to the United States, on Friday, 22 March 1622. Captain John Smith, though he had not been in Virginia since 1609 and was thus not a firsthand eyewitness, related in his History of Virginia that braves of the Powhatan Confederacy "came unarmed into our houses with deer, turkeys, fish, fruits, and other provisions to sell us". Suddenly the Powhatan grabbed any tools or weapons available to them and killed any English settlers who were in sight, including men, women and children of all ages.

Greetings Woopert - Cloudy today makes a change - Yup that sounds like a plan go ahead and see what happens I'm happy to do it although will be away for a couple of weeks in January on a NewZealand cruise but I could hand over duty to you for that time if that would be ok - Darts tonight another arrival home hopefully with a plump full breasted bird then an afternoon on the punt Saturday and footy Sunday - Hurrah - ATB

The Crisis of 1626 Charles took one more step in his attempts to ensure a compliant parliament: he named his main opponents in the 1624 and 1625 parliaments (Sir Edward Coke, Sir Francis Seymour, Sir Robert Phelips, Sir Guy Palmes, Sir Thomas Wentworth and Edward Alford) as sheriffs. A sheriff's duties in the localities officially precluded attendance at Parliament. By this device Charles hoped to exclude the fractious few responsible in his eyes for causing all the trouble.
The unpopularity of Charles and Buckingham was increased by their attempts to form an alliance with with France. To tempt France to war against Spain, Charles had offered to lend English ships to France - but Louis XIII's government promptly tried to use these ships against the rebellious French Protestants (Huguenots).

Charles II was king of England, Scotland and Ireland, whose restoration to the throne in 1660 marked the end of republican rule in England.

Charles was born on 29 May 1630 ,the eldest surviving son of Charles I. He was 12 when the Civil War began and two years later was appointed nominal commander-in-chief in western England. With the parliamentary victory he was forced into exile on the continent. He was in the Netherlands when, in 1649, he learnt of his father's execution.
