Reviews
." . . an engaging personal memoir of Winston Fraser's career at IBM where he was directly involved in many of the innovations now taken for granted. It is a delightful read - a rich blend of technological history, humour and human endeavour. Illustrations throughout the book add a marvellously evocative element to the narrative." (Dr. Derek Booth, Emeritus Professor, Bishop's University, Sherbrooke, Que.) "Winston's life story spans two centuries of technology - from his dad's use of 1800s farming technology to his own practical applications of emerging 20th century computer technology. The book is full of anecdotes about the early days of IBM. Although a very 'low tech' person, I enjoyed it greatly." (Barbara Challies, writer and blogger, Chattanooga, Tenn.) ." . . a never-to-be-forgotten biography of a shy young farm boy who grew up to be a top computer programmer at 'Big Blue.' Every time I 'pay at the pump' or scan an item in a store, I will remember Winston's role in bringing these technologies to us all. In this book, we also see a kind and unpretentious man who adores his family and has brought joy to many through his faith and service." (Brian Jenkins, retired avionics engineer, Rosemere, Que.)

This book provides a close-up, candid and sometimes comical look at life inside IBM during the company's glory days. It follows one man's career from the punched card period, through the UPC-initiated retailing revolution to the era of the personal computer. This small town farm boy's unlikely story is punctuated by recollections of contemporari, This book tells the unlikely story of a shy farm boy who hated school but ended up working more than 25 years for one of the world's most successful companies of the 20th century. It is a candid collection of recollections, more than 25 years later, of what life was like working in the world's premier THINK tank. It highlights both the deep demands and the rich rewards of working at IBM, a company whose main motto was "THINK."

Seller Feedback (353,656)
- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
