About this ebook
From repairing radar, bombing systems and computers in the Navy to teaching computer maintenance and then doing software engineering for 30 years with Digital Equipment Corporation, follow Kay as he takes us on adventure after adventure.
The tragic fire aboard the USS Oriskany cost the lives of 44 men, but the Navy’s official version of the event is not the real reason so many men died.
See the progress of large and personal computers from Kay’s perspective.
