LaRoy Tymes describes his career as a computer operator and programmer at Berkeley Lawrence Laboratory in Livermore and then at Tymshare. When he arrived at Tymshare, the company was running separate discrete data centers for their time-sharing customers and LaRoy designed and developed the supervisor for Tymnet, Tymshare's proprietary network. He also designed a specialized mini-computer, known as the Tymnet engine, to support the Tymnet supervisor. He talks briefly about his career after Tymshare and describes the parallel development of Tymnet and ARPANET.
