Dear SIGCIS-people<br>
<br>
I would just take the opportunity to do a bit of self advertising
for my recent book about the history of computing at NTNU - the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology: <i>Verktøy og
vitenskap – Datahistorien ved NTNU.</i> The book is unfortunately
only available in Norwegian. I hope to publish more in English about
this material with time. <br>
<br>
The book follows the history of computing at the NTNU as tool and
science, from the first electronic differential analyser developed
in the physics department in the mid 1930s, via the first general
analogue computer built in the early 1950s, the advance of digital
computing in the 1960s, the formation of a computer science
department in the 1970s, the turn towards personal computing and
super computing in the 1980s and the internet revolution in the
1990s/2000s.<br>
<br>
Regards, <br>
