Dont procrastinate now - do it later.

Hey! My first IT job (better known as EDP at the time) was as a programmer on these little beasties. I fondly remember trialling/training a speech recognition program for the Speech Pathology Unit of Flinder's University back in the day when this gear was considered state of the art.

I can recall hours and hours and hours of late-night recitions of similar sounding words in the lab (much to the amusement of onlookers) "Element, elegant, elephant" ... rinse and repeat. Sadly, we soon moved onto BBC micros - sure it might have had the same 6502 micro-processor, but it never managed to achieve the same appeal. Then along came those blasted IBM PC's - and all hell broke loose...

Now there's a freaky coincidence... In the last few hours I've been sorting through some dusty old boxes of books and magazines as part of a spring clean and found a copy of GTD. I put it aside, planning to read it again in the next few days. Now knowing a little more about the author will make this just a little more interesting.
