When the IBM PC AT came out, a number of DataPoint employees had developed the programming language to run on PCs. We converted a number of clients to PC based LAN systems and their computing power increased 10 fold. |

Toured Kennedy Space Ct. several times. They open a door to another part of the building for you to walk into and you are face to face with the Sat V engines. Something to see in person!

I recently started reading this book. It goes into good detail of the entire Apollo program and how they built the rocket.
It is available on Amazon. |

When you entered that building, they have you put on a metallic gold colored jumpsuit that had several places you could snap on ground wires. You had to have at least two ground wires connected anytime you got even somewhat close to the SRB sections. The good thing about them having your wallet was when the roach coach came out at lunch time, the food was free because they had our wallets! |
