Hello SIGCIS people, I've been writing a series of entries for the Historical Reflections column that appears quarterly in Communications of the ACM. The most recent just appeared online, and will be out in print soon. In "Seven Lessons from Bad History: Journalists, Historians, and the Invention of Email" I tried to step back from the twists and turns of the "Inventor of Email" affair to explore what it tells us about the place of high technology history in the Internet age. Read it at www.tomandmaria.com/tom/Writing/CACM-SevenLessons.pdf, or for those with ACM Digital Library access at http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2330676. The column may also bring some attention to SIGCIS and to the importance of history of computing community as a guardian of the historical record. For anyone who does have an interest in the specifics of the saga I have extended my analysis of Shiva Ayyadurai's case to deal with his latest claims. Go to http://www.sigcis.org/ayyadurai and scroll down for the new stuff. If you have an interesting paper published or a talk coming up relevant to the history of computing (or, should you be hopelessly modest, if a colleague you respect does) then please do send an email to members@sigcis.org to share it with the community. Best wishes, Tom
