Based on the author’s 50 years of experience this book relates a wide variety of down-to-earth first-hand and often humorous personal encounters with computers. An additional and unique though by no means secondary focus is on the shifting attitude toward a woman in the male-dominated fields of science and engineering since the 1960’s. This story is told from the perspective of one who was there during the modern computer explosion and reveals the human struggles and triumphs of the time. Digita
