Recently I was asked an interesting question. I was asked where I came from. My knee-jerk response was that I am from Virginia. In retrospect this was a poor response. Not only do I come from a proud European history, but I also have many forbearers in my field of study, Computer Science. Where would I be without their work? What would I do if we didn't have computers? These men who pioneered the industry, who pushed the limits of their imaginations and creativity, not only gave us the tools to be more productive but shaped our very way of life. So, today I would like to thank everyone from Alan Turing, who first imaged what a computer can do, to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, whose work in operating systems influence how we use the computer on a daily basis. So I ask you, where do you come from?
