Greetings, SIGCIS members.<br><br>I&#39;m not sure how many on this list are aware of the historical content presented by the University of Michigan&#39;s Charles Severance in his &quot;Computing Conversations&quot; for IEEE&#39;s <i>Computer</i> magazine and web site:<br>

<br><a href="http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/computing-conversations" target="_blank">http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/computing-conversations</a><br><br>Severance frequently includes historical content, even for relatively modern technologies.  At the above site you&#39;ll find a link to a very well done video on Bletchley Park and some other topics that might be of interest.<br>

<br>His column in the November <i>Computer</i> on the origins of PHP seems not to be linked yet on the site above, but can be read or heard at:<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olqMW78GVcs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olqMW78GVcs</a><br>
