NAVGMS Damneck VA, SWSE A School, and a Digital Throwback Story.
I'm not sure where you picked up your computer digital theory, but for those of us in the electronic-based Navy rates—MTs, FTBs, and ETs—in the 1980s missile submarine community, the Comtran 10 was the stuff of programming nightmares. After weeks of drilling digital gating, AND and OR gates, NPN and PNP transistors, and the mystical ways of flip-flops, we got to experience the joy of chasing highs and lows with an oscilloscope, hunting down faults like digital detectives. Good times.
Fast forward a few decades, and I was training some fresh-faced network engineers at Comcast. One of them started bragging about their knowledge of binary—1s and 0s, the whole deal. Naturally, I thought, "Finally, someone ready to geek out on digital theory!" I was all set to drop some Boolean algebra on them. But before I could get started, one of them looked at me and said, "Dude, you belong in a museum."
Nice kids, these video-game-generation techies, huh? Meanwhile, I was just trying to pass down the ancient wisdom of Comtran 10, which, by the way, was built by Singer-Link and used by both the Navy and Air Force for training. It was our initiation into the wonderful world of logic circuits—where the real lesson was learning to suffer in silence while debugging.
Found this Airforce Manual for the Comtran 10:

Parry & Co. barrió en los 2 primeros juegos y se pudo relajar en Mario Power Tennis mientras disfrutaba de la victoria.
Sin embargo Patxorrawar y Singerlink se jugaban el 2º puesto en una final muy emocionante que ganaron los primeros.
