I heard her speak - and she pretty much blew everyone away. We were in "boot camp" where no one breaks the rules, ever, and expects to survive. But her lecture was so fascinating and she was willing to keep speaking, that a whole bunch of us simply stayed longer, missing the next scheduled whatever. It was worth it! She gave out examples of nano and pico seconds - strips of wire cut from old computers from the Pentagon, and packages of pepper (picoseconds!) she used to steal from Wendy's. But when DEC found out about her talks, they had pepper packaged and marked as Picoseconds for her to use. I may not remember much of my time at "boot camp" (thankfully!) but I very clearly remember the delight of hearing Admiral Grace Hopper speak. |
