Description
George A. Michael was a computational physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from 1953 to 1991. During that time, he was an early user of nearly every computer system installed at the laboratory. His narrative is thus a long-term viewpoint of changes in computing in the United States, during one of computing's most fertile periods. Most of the systems were the fastest of their day and the problems of national importance.
