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.)
