When I started working for a drug company in Sussex - They installed a computer which was room size (where bugs comes from) with 64 KILOBYTES of RAM and it needed a separate 11,000 Volt power supply to run it. We have certainly come a long way!

Wasn't GSK was it? I worked there myself a few years back.

That would be Beecham, in Worthing (but originally in St Helens Lancashire), which merged with SmithKline Beckman to become SmithKline Beecham, and then merged with Glaxo Wellcome to become GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
I collaborated with GSK for a number of years on various projects.

It was actually CIBA in Horsham - they had to dig up the drive and surrounding roads to bring the 11,000-volt cable in!
I worked for a Glaxo subsidiary (in Cheshire) much later in life. I still get a reasonable pension from them too!
Yes, Beecham at Worthing driving past on the Lancing road (A27?) on a crisp morning with a light breeze, you could smell when they were making Ampicillin or Amoxycillin.
The other drug companies that I worked for (research) - all mostly gone now, included, May & Baker, Vestric, Wyeth, UpJohn and Baxter Travenol in NZ. The latter I attended a seminar with MS to discuss the introduction of the precursor to UAC.

"Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be.”

...but thankfully we're old enough to indulge in a bit of nostalgia.....

...just like Monty Python's "4 Yorkshiremen" sketch?
