Facts, features

The items in this knowledge base could potentially fit both here and our “family history” set, for the following reasons:

  1. Dick spent his entire career in high-tech, and his years in the business span the “classic years” of computer invention and development.
  2. We both did 10 years of pro bono work at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, and we recorded, in notes and photographs, many of the projects we worked on.
  3. Dick has written a book (My High-Tech Adventure) about his professional experiences from the 1960s through 2024.
