Hit Any Key To Continue
Introduction
The following articles were printed in the Australian Society of Anaesthetists Newsletter. They chronical one person’s ‘coming of age’ in the world of computing. Or perhaps his ‘loss of innocence’. Certainly not the ‘getting of wisdom’.
The nature of computing ensures that the content of the articles is rapidly out of date so please be kind in your criticism.
I would be amazed and overjoyed to receive any feedback.
