Tandem Computers Unplugged

A People’s History

Gaye I. Clemson

Copyright © 2012 Gaye I Clemson

The challenge with oral history, especially when using social media is that the scope is limited by the nature of the kinds of stories that individuals are willing to post. As a result, though lots of people and events are included, lots of others that didn’t quite fit the story line have been omitted, but not through any malicious intent. I have also found, that the human memory is a funny thing, so I don’t pretend that every story is absolutely true. No doubt some embellishment has gone on. There may also be some stories that in today’s vernacular might be considered not very politically correct. Apologies are extended in advance for any sensibilities, political, ethnic or otherwise, that get bruised. I also excluded my own and others’ more ‘juicy bits’ to both protect the innocent but also because my sense is that these stories are much more suited to a fictional format. As I’ve often said, you just had to be there to get it all.
