Yet more 1970s New York Subway fun as captured by my trusty Kodak Pocket Instamatic in April 1976. Burned out, graffiti covered MTA train in Midtown Manhattan. (and this was the Express train!)

Peter Kirstein is the man who put the Queen of England on the internet. In 1976.

That’s Her Majesty in the photo above, and if the year isn’t immediately obvious from the computer terminal she’s typing on — or from her attire — you can find it on the wall, just to her left, printed on one of the signs trumpeting the arrival of the ARPANET.

The date was March 26, 1976, and the ARPANET — the computer network that eventually morphed into the internet — had just come to the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment, a telecommunications research center in Malvern, England. The Queen was on hand to christen the connection, and in the process, she became one of the first heads of state to send an e-mail.

Rocky

(1976) PG - 1hr 59m

When world heavyweight boxing champ Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) wants to give an unknown fighter a shot at the title as a publicity stunt, his handlers pick palooka Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), an uneducated collector for a Philadelphia loan shark. Gritty, grim and epic, this crowd-pleasing film won the 1976 Best Picture Oscar thanks to John G. Avildsen’s solid direction and Stallone’s root-for-the-underdog script.

An original, functioning Apple 1 motherboard sold at auction yesterday for a whopping $374,500 — more than twice what Sotheby’s auction house in New York expected for the rare item.

Only 200 Apple 1s, which were hand-built in 1976 by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, were manufactured. Just 50 of the units, originally sold for $666 apiece, are believed to still exist. Sotheby’s claim only six are “known to be in working condition.”
