Computers listening for key words in the mid-60's. Hmmm.


That's what my father told me at the time (and I have no reason to doubt
what he said). Of course, I was too young to know much about it (maybe about
12-13). I do remember the terminal in the bedroom and going to the building
several times. I also remember the antennas (dozens of large vertical
antennas in two circular patterns, a large outer circle and a smaller inner
circle). You could see those antennas from anywhere on the base. There was
also a large collection of smaller antennas. I also remember a little of
what that equipment looked like inside the building, but obviously not any
of the details.
