As everyone knows, I am a bit of computing history enthusiast. I have attached here a 3 part series written by my father back in 2004...

I propose to use these as starting points but to revise, update and shorten for bssw.io. I've inquired with my father about it and he is fine with that (as long as I give him co-authorship 😉). The ways in which I would adjust things a bit...

  • remove sections that have more of a personal experience of my father's experience
  • add a little more about analog computers including the Antikithra device and even stone structures
  • add a section about role of women as human computers
  • add prolific links to all the devices and topics mentioned
  • update with more recent hardware and computing trends since orig. 2004 publication

Am curious if others would find this a useful/productive contribution to the site.
