Notes:
Notice the similarity of the consoles, and the single person sitting in front of the computer. The Ural was a personal computer, just like the Dask - you could not own it, or carry it, but when you used it; it was all yours alone - no operating system, nothing came between you and your machine.
By incredible coincidence, the performance and the capacity of the first PCs in the late seventies were very close to the Dask or the Ural: around 100 microsec execution for a 40 bit operation and about 5-10K bytes of RAM. So the techniques developed in the use of this 1950's generation of machines were - at least for the late seventies, these ancient techniques were directly applicable to writing PC software.
