⬐ whyenotThis is a documentary describing how IBM developed the first hard disk. It's a shame the HN title is so vague.⬐ linker3000⬐ dtfI was at the Great Oaks (former IBM) facility in San Jose a few months ago. It's a massive place and now owned by HGST (a Western Digital Company), for whom I work. There is still a major amount of storage R&D going on there but, somewhat sadly, a number of the old IBM buildings with their distinctive block tile patterns, as seen in the film, are being demolished to make way for new facilities.Edit: You can see a RAMAC unit at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View - well worth a visit if you're into computer stuff.
⬐ morkfromorkYou work here? http://geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/profile_report.asp?glob...⬐ linker3000Nope, I work in the UK. That's a different place from the main plant too.Lovely art direction in this film. I love this way the IBM suits play in the black & white part of the black/white/brown palette.
