<p><pre><code> &quot;A principal may be expected to take pride in his dealings with other principals, in his expertise in some special field, or in macroscopic evidence of the results of his work, such as sales volume, cases successfully handled, etc. He is less likely to be motivated by the development of supporting skills, such a learning the intricacies of his firm&#x27;s computing system. This may be contrasted with the pride a secretary might take in such skills as typing, shorthand, or filing. Furthermore, a principal will devote less time to the exercise of such skills.&quot; </code></pre> 42 years

Without bitsavers, a large part of computing history would be lost. This is about one of the highly relevant developments in the history of personal computing - the commercialization of the graphical user interface. Thanks for posting this!

This is so cool. I spend a lot of my downtime at work reading old technical papers and research papers. Great way to relax between server upgrades and wire runs lol
