Abstract :
Since entering the computing field in 1949, it has been my privilege to be part of the computer´s evolution. In describing some of the computer applications that I worked on over the years, I hope to convey a sense of the problems, successes, and, yes, fun that characterized so many projects. The projects include: the Aberdeen Proving Ground military equipment testing; Computer Usage Company applications; Penta Computer Associates applications; T-Logic; and the New York News.
