Amazing Grace

chesler@unixland.natick.ma.us (David Chesler)
(topical, computer, chuckle, sad, original)

 We mourn the passing of computer pioneer Admiral Grace Hopper, author of
COBOL, who is now at rest 6 nanoseconds under.

 [Adm. Hopper, who passed away approx. Jan 3, was known for holding up
a piece of wire, one foot long, at her lectures and explaining "This is
one nanosecond", that is at 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second, electricity
travels one foot in one nanosecond.]
