@Philip and Donna — glad you liked. Hopper was an original… and appearances were so deceiving. A year later, she gave a short talk at Naval Intelligence HQ. Again, she comes in looking like your grandmother, but as soon as she opens her mouth, you realize the entire room of geeks (and we were pretty much geeks, as Carol can attest) is struggling to keep up.

@Carol Wasn't it great? Hopper just wandering the halls, pretty much, sticking her head into this and that? I was a CT, not a DP, so I had little idea how "cool" she was. But the Data Processors were practically swooning.
