For the record, Asiago (44m30s) is my favourite cheese, and it is a true measure of my love of Bonavista that although Asiago cheese cannot be purchased in Bonavista, my love persists ...

Of course, if you are into fibre-cable technology ...
I had a chance to watch medieval rope-making in Poissy in 2016.

For some unfathomable reason I found that video to be strangely fascinating.

Well, Paul, as we would say were we back in the heady days of ADP and the 405, "There's no accounting for taste".

Re: IBM Computing Cheese Cutter
I found the video fascinating, as well, especially the slicing of the Asiago, my second favorite cheese.
I think the video is an utter fraud and fake. The device for cutting the cheese (which has an entirely different meaning to some ), could not possibly have been made by IBM because there was no blue and no admonition to THINK!

Hi John.
I'm still trying to come up with a retort; this might take a while!

Re: IBM Computing Cheese Cutter
In those days?
I doubt it!
They probably used hard-wined third-cut boards.

Re: IBM Computing Cheese Cutter
The device would probably croak "Does not compute" if it met Chhurpi: The world's hardest cheese?(and being made from Yak, it finds its home in Scuttlebut!)
