“My Personal History of the Personal Computer”

Speaker: Dr. Dave Bradley

Dave Bradley (“Dr. Dave”) is a retired IBM engineer who was part of the original design team for the IBM PC personal computer, the ancestor of all “PC” style computers, manufactured right here in Boca Raton, Florida. His claim to fame is writing the code for “Control Alt Delete”—to reboot the computer, a trick all PC users know and love. Dr. Dave will take us on an entertaining history of the development of the machine that revolutionized the world. Refreshment at 6p. Speaker starts at 6:30p Fee: $10, free for Boca Raton’s Historical Society (BRHS) members.  www.bocahistory.org.
