The relationships between software engineering and the fields of programming, computer science, and traditional engineering have been debated for decades. Software engineering resembles all of these fields, but important distinctions exist. ...more on Wikipedia about "Comparing software engineering and related fields"

This article is a comparison of latency and throughput in telecommunications. A common misunderstanding of communication is that having more throughput means a "faster" (lower- latency) connection. But, in many cases, the reverse is true, depending on context and needs. ...more on Wikipedia about "Comparison of latency and throughput"

The IBM 350 was part of the IBM RAMAC 305, the computer that introduced disk storage technology to the world on September 4, 1956. RAMAC stood for "Random Access Method of Accounting and Control." The 350 stored 5 million characters. It had fifty 24-inch diameter disks with 100 recording surfaces. Each surface had 100 tracks. The disks spun at 1200 RPM. Data transfer rate was 8,800 characters per second. Two independent access arms moved up and down to select a disk and in and out to select a recording track, all under servo control. A third arm was added as an option. Several improved models were added in the 1950s. The IBM RAMAC 305 system with 350 disk storage leased for $3,200 per month. The 350 was officially withdrawn in 1969. ...more on Wikipedia about "Early IBM disk storage"
