O.K. judging from the weather out there, I want to say the following: I am going to have a class and the notes are below, but if you don't want to come in because you think it might be risky, please don't come in. I'll create an audio recording to accompany these notes in a few days. Safety first is what I'm saying guys. History of Computing: Ancient History History of Computing: Modern History   Also, because of the weather conditions, the deadline for the assignment has been moved back by a week, to the 13th of Dec.
