Interesting bit of info that I've probably heard about many times before, but forgot (it's not like I've ever done much coding in the first place, but I don't think I've seen a single line of COBAL...

I had seen her before, i think at a Computer Superbowl type event held by The Computer Chronicles. I remember seeing her on David Letterman after she had left the Navy and joined DEC. I'll never forget her explanation of nanoseconds and picoseconds. Check this out, the woman was something else.
