When some drunky programming trick broken 1407 inquiry console it is time to call IBM CE. In 40s they used boots to do sabotage, the problem was that saboteur was then walking bare feet so CEO immediatelly saw who have done it. In 60s programming trick was enough, much more covert way, legends says that the upper part of that 1407 was found walking on the moon by the recent Chineese LRO mission. That particular 1401 must be still running it's program hidden in some safe place. Maybe next generations gonna find that 1407 upper part walking on the mars.

Hello, have you ever thought about making the simulator open source?

[@rolffsonsIBM1401channel]

yes, and the answer is: not now. originally the simulator was 'only' a byproduct of me testing the UnrealEngine and some 3D programming techniques for another planned commercial product, with a lot of ugly qick-and-dirty programming. I made the result public, since it worked as expected and seemed useful and fun to me, and to gain some experience with PR, like youtube and social media. Nevertheless since it contains some developments I'm about to use in a technically oriented commercial product for industrial use, making it open source wouldn't be feasible currently. I may change my mind when that product either has been successful, or when I realize that this was only a daydream.

@@rolffsonsIBM1401channel What kind of commercial product are you talking about? Are you making some high end training simulation for military? ;-)
