BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I ACTUALLY DID FIELD WORK LOOKING LIKE THIS IN 1975 -- I HAD THE DECENCY TO WEAR CLOTHES

THE FIRST COMPUTER DEVICE I EVER USED WAS AN IBM MAGNETIC TAPE SELECTRIC TYPEWRITER

I DID ALL OF MY DISSERTATION ANALYSIS ON A SCIENTIFIC DATA SYSTEMS SIGMA-7 AND A DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION PDP-10

I WAS THE FIRST DOCTORAL STUDENT AT UCI TO COMPOSE MY DISSERTATION ON A MAINFRAME AND PRINT IT ON A COMPUTER DRIVEN PRINTER

THE FIELD OF IS DID NOT EXIST IN 1975

WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO CALL OURSELVES -- WE WERE NOT COMPUTER SCIENCE (THEN ONLY 10 YEARS OLD). WE WERE NOT O-R. WHAT WERE WE?
