My dad was a 40-year IBMer. Started selling typewriters in the 40s, retired in Armonk. My related blog post w/ old IBM photos went up (& tweeted) Aug. 3 but just saw this. Maybe you can tell me who that Think Mag editor-in-chief was? Maybe first name Fred? Thanks, @IBM!

Hi Lisa, the editor for Think during the 1940s was Edmond F. Hackett. Thanks for sharing your father's story and blog post with us!

We just employ software developers to work in my IT Projects. Irrelevant people must work in their own sector eg Sports etc. I don't need irrelevant people come to our office as volunteer since we don't want to disclose our details. I'm Licence owner & don't give Free Ride ransom
