I probably have spent too much of my life thinking about computers, but I do not regret it a bit. I was fortunate to enter the field of computing in its infancy and participate in its explosive growth. The rapid evolution of the underlying technologies in the past 30 years has not only provided an exciting environment, but has also presented a constant stream of intellectual challenges to those of us trying to harness this power and squeeze it to the last ounce. I hasten to say, especially to the younger members of the audience, there is no end in sight. As a matter of fact, I believe the next thirty years will be even more exciting and rich with challenges. --047d7bfd079665fb2c04d85ad0bc Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
