In 2011 but still have access to this website. Less (well, zero) meetings and was way more fun. The University-wide Network Planning Group, before "retiring" to Project, then manager of Network Planning for the University and chair of Principal investigator of the "Hermit" distributed computing research Then manager of "Systems Integration" (first microcomputers, PCs, Kermit), (first e-mail, early networking, the first campuswide academic timesharing), Year of OS/360 programming, I was manager of the PDP-11/50 and the DEC-20s Manager Howard Eskin out of his graduate Computer Science classes. I came to work at the Computer Center Systems Group in 1974, hired by its Physics Dept (late 1960s, early 70s), and Mount Sinai Hospital (early 70s), Programming experience in the Army (mid-1960s), the Engineering School and I was a user of the Columbia ComputerĬenter from 1967 until 1977 in my various jobs and as a Columbia student,Īnd I was on staff from 1974 until 2011. So I took some time and wrote it down, and in so doing becameįascinated with the earlier history. the first e-mail, the first typesetting, the first networking, theįirst PC lab, the first hacker breakins, etc - since I was there for most Popped into my office all the time to ask "when did such-and-such happen?" Who am I and why did I write this? Starting around 2000, people Transcripts at the Computer History Museum HERE Some of it below in the 1980-82 timeframe, and a bit more Software, or the Kermit Project, you can find If you came here looking for the history of the Kermit protocol, Kermit Means 2001 obviously much has changed since then. In most cases where the text says "today", that Corrections, additional information, and more It does notĪspire to be a general history or museum of computing, but in some ways it's Periodically since then (time of last update listed above).
