<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I think Per's call for papers to this
conference is something we should take very seriously. I have--and will be at
the conference. The reason why this one is so important is that we are now at
an inflection point in European history of ICT where the whole subject is taking
off with momentum after a long period of slow start, and it is very exciting.
It is a special moment in time when the Americans can influence the dialogue
and learn what is happening in Europe while the Europeans can get a good sense
of the issues we are addressing in our current research. Inflection points in a
subject area only come around rarely, and for European ICT historiography this
is probably the one that we are going to look back on and say things changed as
a result. The themes for this year's conference reflect the maturing nature of
European, and indeed global, ICT historiography.<br>
<br>
I recognize that many of you may be teaching that week and the thought of going
to Northern Europe in October might seem daunting--it is not winter yet--but
see if you can find a way. There is one other benefit: you are going to be
pleasantly surprised to learn what the Swedes as a nation have quietly been
doing to preserve and understand their ICT history--with lessons for all of us
in various countries, including the US, but also relevant for Eastern Europe,
Latin America, and East Asia. <br>
