  • Abstract
    The author´s tenure as an editorial advisor to Datamation magazine from 1965 to 1971 paralleled an era of computer technology journalism that chronicled and set the tone for the industry´s emergence as a dominant force in business and society. Some of the flavor of this period is captured in this account of the author´s interaction with legendary editor Bob Forest.
