127 ;;Quote: von Neumann enunciated the basic principles for designing an electronic computing machine
127+;;Quote: an electronic computing machine should use the binary system and convert to decimal only for I/O
127 ;;Quote: a programmer can write and call a subroutine just as easily as invoking specially-built hardware; and without the maintenance cost
133 ;;Quote: a library of subroutines may be difficult to change
133+;;Quote: use the same order code for new machines since the library of subroutines may be as valuable as the machine itself
