Sudden Death …Continuing Life
January 4, 2010
GREAT NECK -- As an artist, Joe Madura's life is awash in color. More than just the tools of his trade, color is part of his DNA, entwined with who he is -- artist and person -- helping him interpret and share his vision of the world.
For Mr. Madura, graphic artist for the North Shore-LIJ Health System's Art Department, his ability to share that vision was almost extinguished last fall. That's when the color disappeared. And when it did, he nearly left this world for good.
"I was feeling fine," Mr. Madura said of the October morning that was almost his last. "I was waiting for a meeting to start. The next thing I knew, everything went gray, the colors and pictures all disappeared. I stopped remembering what happened."
Sudden Death
What happened was Mr. Madura experienced sudden cardiac death. And the absence of color wasn't some literary symbol about an artist's life but his last memory prior to clinical death.
"I was told later by people in the room that my vision wasn't the only thing to go gray," he said. "My complexion went gray as well. I was gasping for air and slumped in my chair but I had no recollection of any of that. My co-workers said my eyes were open but not blinking. Some later said they thought I was playing a joke.
But nobody was laughing.
The Color Comes Back
Fortunately, Rosemarie Ennis, EMT, the health system's director of public health education, was at the same meeting. A certified automated external defibrillator (AED) trainer, Ms. Ennis began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Ms. Ennis fought to keep Mr. Madura alive while others summoned Cathy Blotiau, a life-support regional trainer, who was in the same building. With the assistance of an AED and further CPR, she proceeded to shock Mr. Madura's heart while others in the room called for an ambulance.
"That AED holds 360 joules of electricity," Ms. Ennis said. "When we were through, the entire battery was drained. Not a joule was left. Joe was gone and it took every bit of energy contained in that defibrillator to bring him back. It was an amazing thing when the color came back to his face."
CPR and AED Training Saves Lives
The paramedics arrived and Mr. Madura remembers them saying, "You owe these women your life." He smiled. "They are my guardian angels."
Later, Mr. Madura learned a very low potassium level caused an arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. He suffered neither neurological nor heart damage. At North Shore University Hospital, he had an internal defibrillator implanted. The defibrillator can restart Mr. Madura's heart rhythm should such an event recur.
"I never would've believed that day that something would have happened and it could've been my last," Mr. Madura said. "I'm thankful to still be here and that Ro and Cathy knew what to do. It's so important to learn CPR and have AED training. I'm living proof."
"The statistics speak for themselves," Ms. Blotiau said. "The survival rate for those suffering sudden cardiac death without an AED being administered during the event is two percent. With CPR and an AED it's 64 percent."
Want to know more? You can take a 3.5-hour course at the health system to learn CPR and AED use to save a life.

A Montgomery County family was able to make it out of their burning home safely early Monday morning.
Firefighters responded to the home on KY-599 just after midnight. Brandon Bellamy says he heard a loud bang and got up to see what it was.
"I opened the garage door. When I turned on the light, there was no light. So when I opened the door, it was smoke and fire everywhere," he said.
Firefighters say the blaze started in the garage, and they were able to contain most of the damage to that area. Firefighters did not say what exactly sparked the fire.

What if computers went back to the '70s too?
A Wizard whispers in your ear: "The password of Sheffield Library Packet Switching Service is ABC1234XYZ." That would be a conversation thirty years ago, on the Multi-User Dungeon, or MUD. The Dungeon was actually a minicomputer at the University of Essex. I won't tell you the name of the wizard, because he's a big noise in the …
Vax? What's wrong with it?
While Unix were constantly releasing new software/hardware to stay at the bleeding edge of technology, Vax was being stabilised.
Result? We have a VMS box which hasn't been switched off in 16 years.
No downtime, AT ALL.
It runs 24/7/365 and runs perfectly. Can't say that for any of our many Unix boxes. So before you use Vax to suggest old and decrepit technology, try bearing in mind that the old technology worked and still does.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Local not-so-big iron
I remember where the local not-so-big iron was in Grimsby--I think it was owned by Imperial Foods, or leased by them or whatever.
The office block, last time I passed, seemed to be occupied by some sort of training company, and some of those seem to be only sustained by government-funded programmes for the unemployed.
Dollar worth three pounds?
In your dreams! I think you meant the pound was worth three dollars in them thar days or yore.
Exchange rates
A pedant writes: I think the fixed exchange rate, in the days before currencies floated, was $2.40 to the pound. It had been $2.80 before the Wilson devaluation.
But that does not detract from a really interesting article.
I booted my Heath H11A a couple of days ago.
I have a small VAX cluster in storage (last fired up in 2006).
Sometimes I REALLY miss TOPS-10 and -20 ...
Addled thoughts from another dimension
"While Unix were constantly releasing new software/hardware to stay at the bleeding edge of technology, Vax was being stabilised."
LOL what?
"Unix" is not a company, but a an attempt at a cheap OS cobbled together at Bell Labs in 1969. It was a Doc Brown-style laboratory, complete with source code and was "ported" to various hardware. Since AT&T failed miserably in its attempts to sit on its "Intellectual Property" and since networking code was included in the BSD implementation, the laboratory never needed to be closed.
"VAX" is the DEC computer architecture, a hardware-software coevolution created by like Apple is famous for. Came complete with a wall of manuals that no-one ever read, and any access to the VAX hardware or OS code was guarded in-depth by operators, department beancounters and DEC T&Cs. Well, these days you can get OpenVMS I hear, as long as it's for "non-commercial" purposes and you register at HP or something. But who wants an OS that is handed out like a restricted firearm.
Dollar worth three pounds?
Indeed! I can remember when 2/6 was called "half a dollar" becaus a dollar was worth about five bob. It was a bit more than that in the seventies.
Oh, and RSX-11M is certainly the best operating system I've ever worked on and that includes VAX/VMS. You could do so much so efficiently (with the lovely Macro-11 assembler language) in such a small amount of memory.
And of course with PDP11s you could actually manipulate storage locations using the key switches on the front panel, so you could fix a bug in situ just by zapping a few instructions. Wonderful!
As AC said, VMS was quite somehting. Many years ago I inherited a VAX11/750 to manage along with one running Ultrix (remember that?) and a heap other Unix boxes. The best advice I ever got about running the VMS box was not to touch it. Utterly solid. Unlike the Unix boxes.
What is such a huge pity is that the son of VMS turned out to be anything but stable. (And I don't mean OpenVMS.) I think one lesson is that some ideas and designs simply don't scale.
The history of, and the long shadow cast over modern computer engineering by, the VAXen really is a story worthy of telling.
Understanding *why* they were stupid
"And the reason it was not launched was stupid: it was seen as a rival to the success of the 990 mini."
That's only stupid with hindsight. The traditional product lifecycle was spend some time developing the product and then sell it until it became obsolete. It is obvious *now* that in the IT business, products are obsolete even before the final stages of development and the only way to run the business is for products to be continuously under re-development and you sell them as soon as they are stable enough for the cost of customer support to be less than the profit on the sale. (That's why we have so much crap software.) However, even as late as the 1970s, that might not have been obvious to the senior management of any company.
Laugh at these poor souls if you will, (I did. I particularly enjoyed the suggestion that 95% of the computer's time was spent working out how much to charge for the remaining 5%. Makes modern OS schedulers look *very* efficient by comparison.) but do try to understand that the world really has changed since then. These weren't 21st century IT execs with under powered products. They were 19th century execs exploring a strange new business territory where the normal rules just didn't seem to work any more.
soul of a new machine
Ah, nostalgia. I think I'll go and boot my PDP 11/73, just for old times sake. It'll give me something to do while installing OpenSolaris on my PC...
Power cuts
I was at the Cambridge University Computer Lab at the time and we did get power cuts, but usually we got a warning phone call some minutes before so the IBM 370 could be stopped and the hard disks spun down. Not nice if it was halfway through your run ...
Perkin Elmer?
One of my lecturers once was involved in developing a compiler on Perkin Elmer hardware - not sure whether that was genuinely British or OEM'ed murrican hardware - circa 1983 I'd say.
Though I cut my teeth on HP minis, the VAXed were really very very good.
Need patriotic icons for long-gone computer systems.
sx MUD
>"A Wizard whispers in your ear: "The password of Sheffield Library Packet Switching Service is ABC1234XYZ.""
:-) I used to use a wide-open JANET node at UCL, no password needed at all: just dial-in,
PAD> call a040000496000001
and you were there. I forget where I got the phone number from, possibly one of my teachers at school told me, or maybe I just read it on a BBS somewhere. It was a whole load cheaper than playing Compunet MUD, but I liked the bugs on c'net MUD more.
Networks were fun then. You could wander around systems and they all had guest/news/games accounts to log in and give it a try. Once you'd found the numbers of the first few systems, you could browse around them and find directories with lists of other systems to log into. I used to play on CERN's mainframes now and again. It was really a case of EU-vs-US in those days though: as soon as you tried to get across the pond you'd run up against some kind of bitnet or timnet gateway that wouldn't let you through without an account, because over there it was all charged-for.
I still hold to the principle that the network is a public space and you have a right to wander anywhere that doesn't have an explicit "keep out" sign. An entire generation of coders grew up learning by exploring and sharing, and the skill base of the whole industry was the better for it. Now that everything's going proprietary, closed and IP/DRM-happy, how are people supposed to have that kind of 'apprenticeship' any more? And then we wonder why all MS' software is so shit.
(Hacker/pirate icon narrowly defeats smiley-face-nostalgia-for-the-old-days icon in a closely-fought battle!)
The first 16 bit microprocessor
Hmmm... I think the first 16 bit microprocessor was the Ferranti F100L, which I reckon must have been in silicon by 1974 'cos that's when I left Ferranti. It was a simple single-accumulator thing, and did arithmetic with a fast *serial* ALU (saved space and transistors).
vax/vms/alpha the best there was!
i "grew up" in my i.t. career working under vms, from 1.5 thru to 7.3
i mostly came thru data centre operations, thru senior operator, shift leader, then operations analyst (untold DCL routines i wrote)..and eventualy (sort of) a "systems analyst" (in the famous words of roy chubby brown "i dunno what it is loov, but i'll have a f*cking good look at it for ya!")..
as stated in the first post, vax/alpha/vms reliability was/IS the best. "5 9's" reliability (99.999%), with the alpha in 92 providing 64 bit computing and clustered hardware providing ultimate fault tolerance via soft switchable fail over..(..and this worked a treat, i saw it a few times).
M$'s "wolfpack" and "MSCS" , where are they now?!
personally, i think M$ had vms murdered, by allowing one of it's stooges (Compaq) to buy it up for $7bn in 97 and quietly suffocate vms, much to my eternal anger..i believe vms may have been sold, or it's still sitting in some dusty corner at HP central (the people who bought Compaq)..and, as seems to be the eternal case, the bigger the company, the worse it gets, so it's as good as dead at HP.
what ever became of the 64bit alpha chip i don't know, but i do remember there was a version of 64 bit windows that would run on an alpha, like 8 years ago..but that was quietly suffocated as well ^^
in this day and age of *requirements* for this type of simplicity of platform (ffs, how many versions of the IX's are there???) and UNTOLD reliabilty and ease of use (as anyone who ever worked on them will tell you, DCL is a *joy* to code, F$GETDVI anyone?!), why the hell wasn't vms the platform of choice for all critical apps?
(i don't know if this is still the case but apparently the NYSE still runs on vms, tho that could have changed it was a while since i heard that one..apparently they refused all overtures to get them onto something rubbish and i don't blame them!)
so, kids..before someone spouts off and tells you how "marvellous" any form of unix or linux is, remember, as far as server OS's go, you can't beat vms!
it's awesome.
p.s. stufff and nonsense (but nothing about vms!): http://www.eupeople.net/forum
DEC: PDP-8 Family Computers
Minicomputers are truly fascinating, not least because they kicked-off the trends towards smaller, more affordable computers, but also because they set the scene for todays computers.
I'm fortunate, I have a microvax-II and a pdp-11 on which I ran the RT-11 (MSDOS-ish) operating system and Fig-Forth until the 36A PSU blew-up! It's amazing what people tolerated for computers and how much usefulness they squeezed out of such puny hardware. I love the way the processors are on hundreds of seemingly identical DIL chips; connected by thousands of wires strewn across multiple, enormous circuit boards. I love them so much I have a design for an original-speed Nova clone in roughly 10 DIL ICs; complete with a toggle-switch front panel. I'd build a Novella(tm) computer for anyone who was interested ;-) !
But DEC were certainly calling their crazy 12-bit PDP-8 machines computers as early as 1966 as the wikipedia article documents!

Oh the memories!
And what about ICL? Everyone in the UK wanted them there except the UK government who seemed not to care...
And yes, the VAX was superb to work on! As a consultant, the environments I worked in varied from legal, engineering, system support, satellite comms - it did it all and it worked. The command set (Digital Command Language, DCL) was consistent in its qualifiers - unlike unix and DOS. This made it easy to use and some of our users developed quite complex programs to aid their work. The only fault was that I could not have one at home!
And bear in mind that the PDP-11 (I worked on that too) celebrated its' 21st birthday since it was still being installed into body scanners in the 90s, it being simple, very fast and utterly reliable.
And the point of this article was ...?
Hey! Does this mean I'm now over the hill because I cut my teeth on RSTS on a PDP-11, then learning 6502 Assembler and Basic on an Ohio Scientific C3-A? Then SYS III on a DEC?
Sun Micro's 3/60 workstations while in school?
Or I am too young because I remember where I was when the Morris worm hit?
Yeah, I started young. Had my Cat 300 Acoustic modem then the 1200 "digital" (no hand set)
Remember all those home brew kits? Heathkit's H8, IMSAI, CP/M machines? Oh yeah. the memories....
Essex MUD
Essex MUD ran on a DEC PDP-10, which wasn't a minicomputer - it was a mainframe, and sold as such.
System X
I worked for Plessey (Poole) on the System X project for BT, and yes it had a lot of computing power as well as the specialised switching hardware. We tried to sell it overseas, but no-one wanted it. Huge amounts of the software dev was on Billing, so that trend wasn't unique to the mainframe bureaux.
Plessey would never have built a commercial computer product - they were into cost-plus contracts and they had absolutely no concept of managing product costs. It wasn't a company, it was an institution. GEC and STC (the other System X development partners) were even worse, we thought we were much more dynamic than them.
I designed a lot of the hardware and some of the software for the System X sub-system that linked the Operator Consoles into the network. It actually used microprocessors, and not just any old micro - it was Intel 8086 based! That turned out to be handy experience to have, and in 1983 I found myself in Birmingham working on PCs for Apricot. Good times, mostly.
Re:Dollar worth three pounds?
You obviously never bought computer equipment in the UK twenty to thirty years ago.
Those were the Days....
A DEC PDP 11/40 with 28KWords of Ram and a Single RK05 Disk Drive.
Run DOS V8 and get the odd F342-Odd Address or other Trap 4.
Guess what I used for my Degree Project?
The PDP 11 range was great but already showing signs of age when the Venerable VAX was Released in 1977. 32Bits - Brilliant.
You could have 20 people logged in and running applications on a 1Mb Machine. Can't do that today can we?
I remember fondly the 'pig'. This was the 240v->110v Inverter we had at Dec Arkwright Rd in Reading. The first VAX we had was a 110v beast.
Not in its Prime
Guy, I remember Prime computers. Napier College (now University) had one. You'd painstakingly type your program into the terminal, type "compile with pascal" (or "c with pascal" if you were feeling lazy) and then find your job at the end of a queue of 300 users. After a few pints and a couple of rounds of pool at the student union you'd come back to find that you'd missed out a semicolon in line 23 and the whole thing had failed.
The year I left they ditched the Prime and bought PCs with turbopascal.
we've come a long way...
and i'm proud to say that i have worked a fair bit on a PDP-11 (and later on DG AOS/VS systems) in the days of old, and have been in, and grown up with, the computer industry ever since..
my own first computer was a Sinclair ZX81. oh what fun you can have with simple things.
the DG 'minis' with the dumb terminals were the best fun of all (when you were a bureau operator that is)... proc on client's (remote) console anyone?? lol.
oh how things have changed.
i have to say that although modern computers and internet etc have made things far easier (on the user end at least), computers nowadays are definitely a lot less reliable (and trustworthy).
... so you see, i'm not just a troublesome spotty commentard after all..
DEC, HP, DG, etc minis still alive today!
If you have a fascination for how computing was in the 70s, or grew up with them as I did, you can get that retro experience with SIMH, a simulation platform for a variety of classic computers. I have both a VAX VMS and an HP2000 Access system running on my Mac (both OS are licensed for for free for hobbyist use). More info at http://simh.trailing-edge.com/
Incidentally, Essex ran MUD on a Dec System 10 and not a PDP-11. Oslo also had a copy IIRC. I recall BT PSS demo accounts were regularly traded for communications.
Personal as you like
Actually, early DEC computers *were* personal. Right back to the PDP-1, which very much resembles a primitive PC. A single box, with a single CRT screen and a single keyboard for input. One person sits in front of it and controls the whole machine. Programs are typed in, executed, and give results in real time. Quite unlike the mainframes that predominated in the 1960s. The PDP-1 has an excellent claim to be considered the first PC, except perhaps on grounds of price. It simply cost too much for anyone but an organization or a rich individual to acquire - but still vastly less than a mainframe. In fact, DEC always offered personal computers right up till the day it disappeared into Compaq. You could take a PDP8, or a PDP11, and use it with a single terminal. And the VAX and Alpha ranges incorporated workstation versions that were quite like today's PCs - only with much more stable (though far more expensive) software.
No mention of HP?
Interesting. A story by an author who I have always respected - Guy Kewney - and not a mention of one of today's big computer heavyweights that was to end up buying the remnants of DEC (in the form of Compaq, who took DEC over) - HP.
I worked for HP during the late 70's and thru the 80's. The HP1000 real time computer was a very definite competitor for the DEC PDP's. 16 bit architecture and all that, the F-series 21MX with its floating point processor plus a 256Kb memory store and 20Mb hard disk as big as an average washing machine supporting 5-10 users concurrently was a well configured system in those days. And here I am 20 years later wondering how I can make my 64bit CPU with 4Gb RAM and 2Tb of hard disk go faster. Oh, how the world changes.
Good work Guy, but I'm afraid on this occasion I can only sympathise in so far that you seem to have only covered half the story.
And Paris because....well just because.
But you haven't mentioned ...
But you haven't mentioned the other time sharing phenomenon, that of dialling up the provider in another city from a dumb terminal. I remember doing manufacturing process statistics by dialling a remote computer (on one of those new fangled Subscriber Trunk Dialling phone lines) and spending half an hour or more feeding preprepared paper tape into a dumb terminal, with the answers coming back to be printed on a device similar to a Creed teleprinter (but 7-hole tape not the 5-hole beloved of the telex system)! Despite the trunk call charges, and the bureau charges it was still said to be economic.
Oh yeah, the recession.
Really bad. 1970's - cooking a meal for 6 on a camping stove by candlelight while your Dad hung himself (by candlelight). These days it's not being able to take your second holiday abroad or decorate the guest bedroom in William Morris print wallpaper. Soft modern wanks.
I remember VMS at college
My abiding memory of it is that they told us when we started at college it was unhackable and 'military strength'.
To its credit, it did take me a week to break into it... in the process causing a crash of the kernel that apparently corrupted the main disk (that's what you get for only skim reading the manuals I guess).
It was a cool OS. If it worked on intel hardware I'd probably still have it on a VM somewhere. It's priviliege system is something that was only vaguley copied on NT later... and DCL has never been bettered.
Dollars and Pounds
Back then, the pound then was, I think, worth $2.40 in U.S. dollars then. But I think what was meant was that a U.S. dollar then was worth three of *today's* pounds, to help the British readers today make sense of the prices. But I suspect five or ten pounds would be closer.
TMS9900's and PDP11's
I can remember designing for the TMS9900 around 1980 - it was my first job out of university. I had to design both the hardware and the software - in those days, you were expected to be competent in both. The equipment we were designing was an industrial control system. Originally it was powered by a Texas 990 mini-computer, but we built out own CPU boards as soon as we could get hold of the 9900 chips - a big, expensive 64-pin chip in a white ceramic package.
They had a totally eccentric architecture, apparently deliberately designed to make them totally incompatible with everyone else's products. Once you started down the TI path, it was extremely difficult to switch to anything else. The address bus was numbered back-to-front (or was it the data bus - I can't remember now) and the peripheral chips would only work with the TI CPU's. They had the weird feature of keeping all the registers in RAM, apart from a single pointer register, so you could do a "context switch" (jumping to a different program), simply by changing that register. The theory was, apparently, that the speed of RAM was increasing so fast that the external RAM-based registers would soon be faster than internal ones. Later on we went to the cheaper TMS9981 and then the 9995, which was, I think, the end of the line for that range. The 9995 was a good processor, but it's non-standard architecture counted against it and it never really caught on.
Later, we designed a system which had two PDP11's working as intelligent disk drives (coupled to the infamous 300Mb disk packs) and a rack full of AMD bit-slice processors doing all the number-crunching - all controlled by a 6809! It was a data compression system using discrete-cosine transforms and was used by a big publishing house (Time-Life, I think), to send their pages by satellite to all the different printing presses. I think the FBI later bought one for storing fingerprints!
Happy days! Electronics isn't nearly such fun now.
Microfiche and birds on the wire
VMS came with (most) of the source code on microfiche, couple that with the Internals guides and you could really learn how the beast worked. And don't forget MicroVMS, it came on around 50 floppies of which at least one was going to be a dud.
Dialup over 300 baud could be exciting. The safest way to do anything was to create a command file and execute it. The alternative was to have noise on the wire complete commands for you with random additions. Sometimes those commands worked leaving you pale and wondering what you had just done as SYSTEM.
being too young to remember anything from these days, its a useful article on how the things actually happened. Thanks also to the commentaries for broadening the picture.
DEC (and ICL)
ICL was a creation of govt, and through its creation ICT's engineering discipline and innovation was frittered away. But in the 1970s I don't remember a shortage of PDP-11s - I was in effect the buyer of them in a University that I will not name because the central computing service boss thought that users getting their hands on computers would diminish his empire. It did.
@Destroy All Monsters
I don't need a lecture on Unix/VAX culled from a wikipedia page.
I'm well aware that Unix isn't a company. I was trying to keep it simple, for the sort of idiots who write terms such as "LOL".
My sincere pity if you were too thick or pedantic to understand my meaning.
About 10 years...
...after I started working on Burroughs mainframes a PC appeared on someones desk at work,
To this day I can remember thinking this means trouble..and in the days before IP networks were common you needed a different cable hanging out of the back of the PC to talk to each mainframe...I think they called it progress!
Great Article
Just rebuild YET ANOTHER LINUX BOX - whilst reading this on the other screen, and it took me back. First job I ever had was with GEC, pursuading the boss that with all the money he spent buying time on the central mainframe, he could have his own PDP-11. Anarchy! The wrath of Weinstock fell heavily in those days and the arguement was long and hard. In the middle of this the DEC Salesman whispered "what about a VAX instead?" and so we got an early VAX 11/780.
What a simply wonderful machine? The power was awesome. A macro assembler that has never been beaten.
Just to let you know that MUD 2, the updated version of MUD - with 30 years of development is available to play for FREE at mudii.co.uk on port 23. This is the UK based version. There is also a version based in Canada at mud2.com. The Essex version of MUD, or British Legends as it is now know, is also available to play for free at british-legends.com.
You haven't lived till you've died in MUD!
I worked with VAX/VMS for about 20 years. A more reliable and secure OS you couldn't
wish for. Unlike what passes for an OS on the laptop I'm typing this out on at the moment.
I got out of the business when Unix and Windows took over. It was just too depressing.
Like going back to the stone age. At least VMS felt like it was actually designed and not just thrown together.
It wasn't ABC1234XYZ
It was NSS7HSD
"Isn't every computer a DIGITAL computer?"
Good grief, I remember that slogan. Whew. Them were the days....
What hurt me was buying a PDP11 (128K - yes, K!! words of ferrite core) and a couple of RL01 10 megabyte (megaword??) drives for 10 quid for the whole shebang, then selling it at a car boot sale for the same amount later. Reason? 'Cos when I span up the drives, the telly went on the blink...Missus NOT happy...
Article never mentioned the LSI-11, which was, like a microVAX, a PDP11 on a chipset.
Sod me, I thought the Intel 4004 was tricky....
In1966 working on a Monrobot XI (ah the joys of splicing paper tape) we certainly thought and spoke of it as a computer and relied on it to produce the stores orders, shipping lists, inventories and re-order prompts daily for our chain of supermarkets.
International Computers Limited
I'm really surprised that only one comment has mentioned ICL. The article talks of "...companies like Univac, Burroughs, NCR, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, RCA and Honeywell". And that, presumably, means ICL.
Perhaps I'm the only person reading this who named his son after an operating system. I suppose he could have been called TOS (Tape Operating System) or DOS (Disc Operating System) or Pick or CP/M but wasn't. He's called George after the best operating system of the lot---from ICL.
But this isn't the story of MUD and hackers (we can tell that tale another day). <--- I wanna hear this story.......
Anyone else get reminded of a BOFH episodes by some of the comments here :)
one word - simh.
I'm running a "Vax" and a "pdp11" in my shed right now, on a couple of old Linux boxes.
UK minicomputers
GEC attempted to make general purpose minicomputers, the 2000 and 4000 series. Default login was OPER/OPER.
Most of them were bought by GEC Marconi companies, who had to jump through numerous hoops to justify using a VAX rather than the much crappier internal product.
The reason there was no UK general purpose computer industry was largely the amount of government pork that was doled out to build largely useless weapon systems on a cost-plus (or quasi-cost-plus basis). This work was easier and more profitable than making things ordinary businesses wanted to buy.
I think this still continues (ID cards, nuclear power stations, Eurofighter, aircraft carriers).

how about some specs
Ive looked at a lot of sites on the PDP-11 and I have a hard time figuring out what the specs were. The only thing Ive come up with is that it had 64k of RAM memory. What kind of permanent memory did it have? Just tape? Was the memory or OS accessed from a line editor, a teletype or console terminal? I know its hard to calculate processor speed as it had a lot of tiny processors, but what was its approximate speed? Thats really interesting to hear some of you have a working PDP-11 in your possession. And not to start a flame war, but which was better, Unix or VMS?
PDP-11 the first 'real' computer?
I'd guess the PDP-11 was the first 'real' computer -- bus based, extensible, accessible and so on. A nice bit of kit, made the PDP-8 look really ancient. I don't see much change since then, we seem to be stuck in an eternal timewarp where today's hot patents look like the stuff the mainframe builders were developing so they could cope with physically large computers for the target clock speed (same thing these days except everything's chip scale).
You should mention ICL and maybe its MICOS(?) processor -- a good seller, a microcoded processor capable of running different instruction sets. ICL was never going to make it into the microprocessor age, though -- can't think down to that level (or see that today's inadequate silicon is going to spaw tomorrow's version which will wipe the floor with you.)
The three day week wasn't about inflation. It was about coal. Prices were rising -- helped along by joining the EU, incidentally -- but wages were being held down by government order ("to stem inflation"). Various groups of workers didn't like it, including the miners. Rather than deal with them the government put the country on a three-day week to conserve fuel. I loved it -- three days is about the right length for a workweek, IMHO.

The '90s were a golden age for cheapskate gaming: with the popularity of shareware - a distribution model that offered hours of free play to PC owners - there was never a lack of something new to try.
Anyone who owned a PC in the '90s will be intimately familiar with many of the titles on offer at RGB Classic Games, a site that provides over 300 DOS titles free-to-play in a web browser. Everything from the first shareware episode of Doom through to Cliff Bleszinski's Jazz Jack Rabbit is here. It's enough to make you wanna cry.
Other highlights include John Romero's first game Dangerous Dave, early id Software classic Commander Keen, the first Duke Nukem platformer, as well as lesser known titles such as The Lost Vikings and Loader Larry. Strangely, not all the titles on offer were first distributed as shareware, though RGB insists that "all of the games on this site are freely distributable because they are shareware, freeware, or because the copyright holder has officially and legally released all rights to the public domain (abandonware)."
Whatever the case, there's weeks - nay years - worth of play here. Got any fond memories of '90s gaming?
Thanks to PC Gamer for the tip.

Is it safer to put my data in c: drive?
c:Windows 7 rtm
d:blank(reserved for xp)
so can I rearrange it like this?
e:Windows 7
1.I experienced a partition table corruption once,and it nearly killed me.So what I want to know is could it reduce the possibility of the partition table error if I put the data in 1st partition(rather than an OS),or if it's corrupt can I still access and read the data in 1st partition?I can reinstall OS but I can't reinstall data,you know.
2.Is the 100m hidden volume of Windows 7 useful?I don't need to encrypt my files,so can I delete it?I heard that if you format it first then do the installation Windows 7 won't create the volume.
And I wanna make a dual boot,if I discard that hidden volume will the dual boot fails or what?xp is more stable and I guess I won't change it,and that's the reason I put it in 2nd partition.Windows 7 is new,so I decide to drop it to the last partition because I may format and re-install it in the future.
I plan to do the re-installation and data transfer lately,so if it's pointless and no need to do that,please tell me soon.
Lots of questions,thank you for reading.

you'll be better off to backup the MBR, the first sector of the hard disk because that is where partition table is stored.
the 100MB partition serves two purposes.
1) it allows you to encrypt the system drive with bitlocker
2) it stores the boot files
If you delete the 100MB partition, chances are your computer will no longer boot into Windows. What you would need to do is move the boot files to some other partition before you deleted it. I've tested that method several times by using the bcdboot command, then make that new partition "active".
You are probably going to stir up a mess on sevenforums by stating that Windows XP is more stable than 7. I'm not going to disagree though, because I still use XP as primary OS myself.
|My System Specs
|30 Sep 2009
Thank you for replying.
So,it means:
BIOS -> MBR -> 100M partition -> Win 7 ?
Please recommend a software to backup MBR.
So put the data in first drive is a good idea or not?

I would not worry too much about the 100MB partition - This is a good idea for anyone who is multi-booting as it locates the boot files away from any one operating system partition. Which means that you can delete or lose one OS /Partition and still boot to the other for recovery.
On to the subject of protecting against data loss
If you have data that is irreplaceable the only way that you can truly protect this is by the use of a backup external to the system, preferable to an off site location.
Some protection levels are as follows
Each option is cumulative and includes the protection provided by the previous options
Of course this protection is only as good as the last time it's performed

A family was awakened by a naked intruder crashing through the front door of their home and reciting scripture.
Police in Seattle say a 911 call was placed around 2 a.m. reporting the incident. The Associated Press reports the family remained in the home's upper floor while the woman's husband protected her and their two young children with a baseball bat.
The 20-year-old man fled, but officers spotted him walking down the street. They chased him and eventually apprehended the suspect.
Police say the man told them he'd taken LSD.

BOURBON ŌĆö Triton faces a historically tough field as the regional round of the 101st Annual IHSAA Boys State Basketball Tournament convenes this weekend.
The Trojans (20-3) take on Pioneer (15-9) in the afternoon game following the tournament opener between Morgan Township (19-4) and Fort Wayne Canterbury (17-4) with the championship slated for 7:30 p.m. EST.
If recent history is any indicator, the ultimate prize could be even bigger than a regional title. The past four champions eventually went on to the Class A state finals, where three of the four claimed state supremacy.
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs going to be a great tournament,ŌĆØ said Triton head basketball coach Jason Groves. ŌĆ£The regional has produced several finalists in the last few years. ItŌĆÖs been quite a bit in the past four years. ItŌĆÖs going to be another competitive one again. I think anybody has a chance of winning, itŌĆÖs just a matter of whoŌĆÖs going to show up and put in two solid games. I think itŌĆÖs wide open for everybody, and you canŌĆÖt look past anybody. ItŌĆÖs going to be a really fun tournament; IŌĆÖm excited for it.ŌĆØ
Triton itself represents two of the last four state finalists, beating Indianapolis Lutheran in 2007-08 for the title, and falling 66-55 in ŌĆś08-09 to finish runner-up behind Jac-Cen-Del.
Last year, Triton fell in its regional opener with Fort Wayne Blackhawk ŌĆö which went on to lose the championship to eventual state champ Bowman Academy ŌĆö and with virtually everyone back on this seasonŌĆÖs senior-heavy squad, the Trojans are sure to remember the loss.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt know if itŌĆÖs unfinished business, but especially with our seniors this is their last go-around so I know they would like to get back to the state,ŌĆØ said Groves. ŌĆ£At the same time they know itŌĆÖs really tough to get through the regional. I think regional is probably the most difficult thing to get through, just because of the unique format where you have to play one game in the morning and one game at night. Our kids arenŌĆÖt looking past anybody. I know theyŌĆÖre happy to be in the regional, but at the same time theyŌĆÖre not satisfied being there. They want to keep going and keep playing, and I think they have the confidence to know we can do that.ŌĆØ
One senior who has been with Triton throughout its four-peat run of sectional championships is Griffyn Carpenter. The 6-foot-1 guard/forward is TritonŌĆÖs leading scorer with a points-per-game average of 18.55 this season, just ahead of sophomore standout Clay YeoŌĆÖs 16.76 average.
Carpenter sustained a head injury in the last game of the TrojansŌĆÖ regular season and has since had limited playing time, but Groves said he seems to be doing just fine.
ŌĆ£Health-wise, heŌĆÖs fine. HeŌĆÖs been cleared and he can go. We try to be a little bit cautious with him and make sure he doesnŌĆÖt get hit and protect him a little bit there, but towards the end of last week he started seeming like his old self. I think heŌĆÖs ready to go.ŌĆØ
One advantage Triton has over its opponents is the home court advantage, which could prove to be a difference-maker in the even tournament field.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs nice to be on your home court, no matter when it is, especially in regional where you have to put two good games together,ŌĆØ Groves said. ŌĆ£They get to just go home and rest between games if we win the first one. The familiarity is obviously an advantage for us and weŌĆÖre fortunate to host regional, but itŌĆÖs still going to take a lot of preparation and a lot of execution and intensity and effort for two games to win this thing.ŌĆØ

Chrissie Chapman, Burundi, Central Africa
CRIB (Children Rescued in Burundi)
During the genocide in Burundi in the 90's Chrissie Chapman began a work to rescue children who had suffered unimaginable hardship and lost their parents in the crisis that took place then. Her commitment to these children has gone way beyond the call of duty, as she has adopted three of them Hannah (left), Ben, and Lydia (right).
Today there are more than fifty children in the CRIB work, who also go to The King's School, a Christian school where they are educated in English, along with other children from the city. More than thirty of them are in secondary school, and others have gone on to futher education or work.
visit CRIB's website at www.burundichildren.com
Below Below is Chrissie's latest newsletter of June 2014.
"Dear Friends,
Once again I find myself saying 'where has the time gone'? We are almost at the end of another school year and yet it only seems like a few weeks ago I was writing my Christmas newsletter.
I will begin with family news. Lydia is still with me at home in Burundi, she continues to enjoy life working with one of the local airlines and it is good to have her around. She is involved in an English speaking church and seems to be happy and well settled now living back in Burundi.
Hannah has just completed her second year at SOAS in London studying law. She is trying hard to get some work experience this summer as well as working most weekends in a restaurant to earn some money and will probably come back home to Burundi for about three weeks towards the end of the summer to have a break before starting back at Uni for her third year in the autumn. Benjamin has survived his first year at Westminster Uni. He has enjoyed some of the course but it has been a challenge to him as there is so much diversity within the music industry and he has struggled a little with the course, but end results have been good. Ben will be in Burundi for the whole summer, he is going to be responsible for the sports summer programme for all our kids and also movie evenings so he will have a busy time.
As for me, right now I am in the UK about to return to Burundi in a few days time. I once again had a problem with a basal cell carcinoma on my head. I came back to the UK to get surgery for that and it did in fact turn out to be rather extensive so I ended up with quite a large area having to be surgically excised, and all my hair shaved off. With the big bandage following the surgery my son said I looked like a giant smurf! The most troublesome and painful part of the procedure has been a skin graft taken from my leg to graft onto my head but it is all healing well and most of my hair will grow again in time. I have a number of very brightly coloured scarves which I am getting quite creative with and will go back to Burundi looking like an African Queen!
Life back in Burundi with CRIB is never boring! The kids are growing up fast, most of them taller than me now. They are a wonderful group of youngsters and I am very proud of them as they have mostly settled into the swing of long days at school with lots of hard work to try and get the grades they need to go and take A levels, with a number of them really having a desire to go on to study at university or for those that are not quite up to the mark academically, to go to a training college to learn a trade.
At this time we have Murungwa in Uganda just about to start his fourth and final year at university doing a degree in computer sciences.
We have Moise and Grace both of whom have won scholarships for Oklahoma Christian University, Moise studying engineering and Grace journalism.
Budusy is in Kenya studying computer technology.
Gentil, David and Keve are all now working in various areas in school as classroom assistants and doing a very good job.
This year we have two students who will graduate from IGCSE's. Belize will be doing a diploma course in hospitality and hotel management in a new college here in Burundi and Niyongabo will go on to take an A level course, he has a dream to be a doctor.
Pacifique graduates from A levels this summer and we are looking for a place for him in Rwanda, he wants to study law. The course starts next January so he will spend the rest of this year in French classes to improve his French as for practicing law in Burundi he will need both French and Kirundi as well as his English.
Next summer I think we have about nine young people who will graduate from IGCSE's….my babies are all grown up and turning into doctors , lawyers and teachers and all sorts of other exciting careers which is a dream coming true, these young people are tomorrow's leaders in Burundi.
Burundi has faced a number of challenges this year. At the beginning of the year whilst the UK was experiencing heavy rain and severe flooding so was Burundi but the world never heard about the mountain slides and over 12,000 people made homeless overnight as their houses were completely destroyed. There were many fatalities, mostly children who got caught up in the mud slides or washed away in the rivers as the rain flooded down the mountains sweeping everything in its path. It will probably take years to try and get all the displaced people out of the makeshift camps as the government and other aid agencies try to help with the rebuilding of almost 5,000 homes. Added to that disaster is a very unstable political situation as an attempt is being made in government to change the constitution so that the residing president can serve for a third term. There are rumours that Burundi may be heading into another genocide and there is a lot of fear around. These are challenging days but God is Good and we have experienced His protection many, many times in so many different situations so I feel at Peace that He will protect us and give wisdom to know how we walk through these difficult days.
I am very excited that we have a couple coming to join our team in November from Santa Barbara, California. Tim and Katie Brock are coming with their two young children aged 3 and 1 years. Quite a commitment at this time with the political situation being so tense but we all feel a peace about them coming at the end of the year; however they will come with open ended tickets so if problems arise we can load them on a plane back home! The elections are not until spring next year, just a lot of fear that people embrace which is hard. We are excited that Tim and Kate with family will live on site and they are going to be youth pastors / mentors helping out with everyday life with the CRIB kids. Our boys are so happy to have another guy on site! It is really fantastic to have someone for the boys to talk to and they know Tim a little as he came for two weeks with a team last summer. I am also so happy he is a plumber by trade as to have a handy man on site who is spiritually minded and earthly useful is a real bonus!
One final piece of news… for very many years so many people have asked me time and again 'Why don't you write a book?' Well, it seems like now might be the right time to take on that project so I have made a start trying to write down some of the amazing stories of God's wonderful grace, love, protection and miracles that I have seen and experienced on this incredible journey of twenty-four years in Burundi.
I thank you for your continued love and support to me and my family and our CRIB family, we all value your prayers and support so much.
I wish you God's richest blessings. Have a wonderful summer and please continue to pray for us in these challenging days.
Many thanks
The Cow Project, Burundi
We also are supporting a project to help hill farmers acquire cows and grow food so that they are well nourished and give good milk yields. Our support helps to buy cows, which are given to hill farmers who are also supplied with seed to enable them to grow suitable food for fodder. Once the cow has calved and the milk begins to flow the farmer is able to use some of the milk for his own personal needs, sell the remainder back to the project, and in time pay for the cow that was donated.
These cows are a real life line for villages and farmers. Their families not only get better nutrition and are consequently healthier, but they have a sustainable income too. The milk is also taken by the project and sold in the towns.
We are also contributing towards a machine which pasteurises the milk so that it keeps longer and is in better condition than it would be in its raw state.
As the farmers are able to buy their own cows and repay the loans this is then reinvested in the scheme to help other farmers obtain cows.
Evariste, who runs the Cow Project, has also started feeding milk to some of the approx. 5000 street kids of Bujumbura. He plans to open a street café where the kids can come and have a cup of milk for free.

The government made a commitment in the 1998 White Paper 'Modernising Social Services' to put in place new arrangements to commission from all of its Chief Inspectors of services involved with children a joint report on children's safeguards.
This is the first of those reports and draws on the findings of a wide range of inspection activity undertaken by individual inspectorates. In addition, a joint inspection was undertaken to address inter-agency arrangements for safeguarding children.
The annual report of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills 2007/08 (Summary report)
This summary of the 2007/08 annual report presents evidence from the first full year of inspection and regulation undertaken by the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills, which came into being in April 2007. The report covers the period from July 2007 to August 2008 and sets out findings from childcare, children's social care, and education and skills provision for learners of all ages.
While fathers can play an extremely important role in achieving positive outcomes for their children, they also face significant barriers to engaging with a range of family services. The available research shows that parental involvement is one of the most important factors in children's achievement and adjustment and that fathers are vitally important in this.
Diversity and Dialogue aims to create better understanding between young people from different faiths and backgrounds.

Very much enjoyed, didn't realize it had been made into a movie a few years ago...
After years of hearing about Cloud Atlas and wanting to read it I finally bought myself a copy. It was as good as I wanted it to be which is rather unusual because rarely do books live up to their advance billing.
The book is a series of 6 nested stories ranging from the 1800s to the far future. At first it is hard to tell what the stories have to do with each other but if you suspend your criticism you will discover the connection. In each story the main character discovers the story of the previous section although not the whole story because each breaks off at a crucial point. Then, after the sixth story the truncated stories are completed so that the book begins and ends in the 1800s. It is a unique and, I think, brilliant way of structuring a book.
Many big themes are touched on in this book: slavery, artistic rights, corporate greed, pollution, insurrection, societal breakdown, religion, reincarnation. It's a cautionary tale, for sure.
Now that a movie has been made of the book Mitchell has added a postscript about his involvement with it. I think I will have to rent this movie because I can't quite imagine how they can make a 2 hour film about it. Mitchell seems to approve of the handling though so it must stay true to his vision.
Cloud Atlas was the weirdest book I think I have ever read, and I really did not enjoy it that much. There wasn't anything that I found interesting for me to clasp onto and hold like a life-line. I'll also be giving the movie a miss.
Although the book really lost me on it's deeper message, it was a fun and interesting and great for the summer. I'm surprised the nested framing device didn't totally annoy me - it actually worked! Glad I got to read it before I saw the movie.
This book is amazing. Once I've read it a couple more times and I understand more of it, definitely 5 stars.
Cloud Atlas is powerful and elegant because of Mitchell's understanding of the way we respond to those fundamental and primitive stories we tell about good and evil, love and destruction, beginnings and ends. He isn't afraid to jerk tears or ratchet up suspense - he understands that's what we make stories for.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375507256, Paperback)Now a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, and Hugh Grant, and directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer
A postmodern visionary who is also a master of styles of genres, David Mitchell combines flat-out adventure, a Nabokovian lore of puzzles, a keen eye for character, and a taste for mind-bending philosophical and scientific speculation in the tradition of Umberto Eco and Philip K. Dick. The result is brilliantly original fiction that reveals how disparate people connect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky.
"[David] Mitchell is, clearly, a genius. He writes as though at the helm of some perpetual dream machine, can evidently do anything, and his ambition is written in magma across this novel's every page."—The New York Times Book Review
"One of those how-the-holy-hell-did-he-do-it? modern classics that no doubt is—and should be—read by any student of contemporary literature."—Dave Eggers
"Wildly entertaining . . . a head rush, both action-packed and chillingly ruminative."—People
"The novel as series of nested dolls or Chinese boxes, a puzzle-book, and yet—not just dazzling, amusing, or clever but heartbreaking and passionate, too. I've never read anything quite like it, and I'm grateful to have lived, for a while, in all its many worlds."—Michael Chabon
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:55:09 -0400)
A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan ?s California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; a genetically modified "dinery server" on death-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilisation -- the narrators of Cloud Atlas hear each other ?s echoes down the corridor of history, and their destinies are changed in ways great and small.… (more)

This fantastic rice pudding requires no baking, and each serving contains only 22% fat. I simply cannot put into words how deliciously creamy this pudding is. Don't let the tofu scare you off. If you like maple, you have to give this a try. I would recommend including the dried cranberries. They add even more depth and sweetness.

Chrome is now MSIable - Chrome browser for business ? Google Apps
We an RM CC4 network. In the past we have been able to deploy and configure Firefox on our network (set proxy etc).
A member of staff has requested Safari, Opera and Google Chrome to be deployed.
I was wondering if anyone has managed to package any of these browsers into MSI's and configure proxy settings?
Many Thanks,
Why would they need the use of all these other browsers on one system?
If it is to show the students the differences then you could install all of them locally on his workstation and create a program set for the shortcuts and make him a member of that group. He could then show them over the IWB.
It just seems quite an ask for one teacher to want all those browsers.
(If I have missed the point then ignore this)
MNHughes (12th January 2011)
Yeah your best bet is to install locally, although if you have a GP that states that IE must use Proxy Settings these will apply in Chrome as it uses the same settings as IE.
As for the others you could use a WPAD file which is locally downloadable as soon as the browser opens.
We have Chrome packaged on CC4 here and deployed to all workstations. The only issue is that we need to fire up IE with our proxy settings contained (and then close it) before chrome will work.
We use both IE9 and Google Chrome with no issues for either.
If you have an account on the RM communities website, theres a forum post with the details on how to create the google chrome package, but as @webman pointed out, google chrome is now available in .msi format so should be much easier although you will still need to add the .adm template to the management console to help you configure and lock it down sufficiently.

- How to Read a Study Record
Severe aplastic anemia (SAA)is characterized by the depletion of hematopoietic precursors associated with life-threatening complications. High-dose cyclophosphamide has been found to yield a complete response (CR) in adults and children with SAA.However, the optimal dosage of cyclophosphamide for patients in childhood remains unclear. So we explore the ideal dosage of cyclophosphamide for the treatment of children with SAA.
Aplastic Anemia
Drug: cyclophosphamide,cyclosporine A
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Moderate-dose Cyclophosphamide for Childhood Acquired Aplastic Anemia
- The reponse of Moderate-dose Cyclophosphamide for Childhood Acquired Aplastic Anemia [ Time Frame: 36 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Complete response (CR) was defined as achieving normal levels of hemoglobin adjusted for age, platelet count >100×109/L, and ANC>1.5×109/L. Partial response (PR) was defined as transfusion independence, reticulocyte count >30×109/L, platelet count >30×109/L, and ANC >0.5×109/L above the baseline. Persistence of transfusion requirement or death was evidence of no response (NR).
- The side effect of Moderate-dose Cyclophosphamide for Childhood Acquired Aplastic Anemia [ Time Frame: 36 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

|moderate-dose cyclophosphomide
Drug: cyclophosphamide,cyclosporine A
Drug,cyclophosphamide,cyclophosphamide (30 mg/kg/day) administered intravenously (IV) over 1 hr for 4 consecutive days Drug,cyclosporine A,5mg-12mg/kg.d,CSA was administered orally 40 days after the fourth dose of cyclophosphamide and maintained for 3 years. The dose of CSA was adjusted to maintain trough drug concentration above 150 μg/L and peak drug concentration above 300 μg/L.
Drug, human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), 5 μg/kg/day subcutaneously starting 24 hrs after the fourth dose of cyclophosphamide, and it was withdrawed when ANC was >1×109/L.
Other Name: Drug,Mesnaum
Detailed Description:
Tisdale et al. (2000,2002) attempted to compare immunosuppression using ATG/CSA with high-dose cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg/d for 4 consecutive days) plus CSA in a randomized trial of newly diagnosed adults with SAA. Both groups received CSA as part of the treatment regimen. However, the trial was terminated prematurely due to excessive morbidity among the patients treated in the cyclophosphamide arm. They documented that invasive fungal infections were severe among the cyclophosphamide group. Between January 2008 through May 2009, in our department, nine pediatric patients with a diagnosis of SAA were enrolled a study with lower dose of cyclophosphamide with 30mg/kg/day for 4 consecutive days and combination with CSA, this study shows promise for children with severe aplastic anemia.Now we want explore the dosage of cyclophosphamide.
