Does anyone remember one of the chief technical people at Computer Science
Corp (CSC), Julies Verne? He was a graduate of the Julliard School of Music
and a super computer technical person.

Interestingly enough, as I understand it, back when IBM was first getting
into the software biz years ago, they prefered people with a music
background...there's a relationship between understanding the process
flow, etc. and music that's much prefered over math majors for
software/systems development...
