I find the history of our industry fascinating and while Matt had already covered <a href=\"http:\/\/crosscuttingconcerns.com\/Brief-Bio-Grace-Hopper\">one of my favorites<\/a>, I was more than happy to grab the next name in the list and set out to work.  <\/p>\n<p>I read a lot of information and I learned a lot in the process.  In the end, I had a lot of trouble even coming close to living up to the Brief label.  My subject had done a lot to move computing forward.  In the end, I was able to cut enough and still maintain a narrative that made sense and kept the importance of Mr. Mauchly.
