Description
This oral history interview focuses on Lloyd Thorndyke’s career at Control Data Corporation, starting in 1960 as one of the engineering leaders who put them in the peripheral business and ending with spinning the super-computing division out of CDC as ETA in the 1980’s. His memory is exceptionally sharp on people, dates, and details, plus his wit and frankness keep it really interesting.
