That was interesting. She died so young. My husband's aunt during WWII was in the army and worked on some huge protype of a computer that took up, I think, the whole floor of a building. Not really sure, but I think it used vacuum tubes? And go you for jumping into the new experience of computerland. But you didn't waste your English major, did you? We all get to benefit from your writings in fanfic.

Thanks for the tidbit, Laurie.
