[SIGCIS-Members] IBM History

[Ian S. King]

I too am delighted by this publication.  I've had numerous conversations
with some of the former Sindelfingen team and they were quite proud of
Germany's contributions to computing.  I'm quite interested to read about
your research regarding the early era of IBM's precursors.  -- Ian
