Hi, everyone and welcome to a special interview-only episode of Floppy Days. My name is Randy Kindig and I’m the host of this podcast. This interview is with Paul Ceruzzi, curator of Aerospace Electronics and Computing at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C and author of several computer history books. Those books include “A History of Modern Computing”, “Computing: A Concise History”, “Landmarks in Digital Computing: A Smithsonian Pictorial History” and more. Paul also sits on the Honorary Council of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA.
