Dan speaks on the history of computers, with an insider's view of IBM. How engineering, design and manufacturing of the previous century made technology so common place for us today. How did "main frame" computing paved the way for personal computers? Or, how has Gen-Z never heard of IBM?

Great talk, was glad to say I was there.
It can't be forgotten that it took a company the size of IBM to give the world core-memory and SLT logic. The development of OS/360 run over budget and behind schedule and cost something like $5B in the 1960s!
