Greetings and Felicitations.

A few years ago, I prepared a lecture intended for presentation
to non-computer majors at the University of Regina.  This lecture
has since been transferred to the world wide web (WWW), complete
with slides and accompanying text.  The material is presented
in an orderly fashion, starting with the need for man to count
in the stone ages and continuing on the developments with computers
into the mid-late 80s.  Both text-based and graphic browsers,
with an without frames, are supported.  The material also contains
pointers to other sites on the net with related information to
the current slide.  For those of you who would like to use it
in a non-network connected classroom, standalone copies are
available to educators and museums.

Mirror Sites:

  US    : http://www.interpac.net/~eingang/Lecture/
  Europe: http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/groups/se/people/hoyle/Lecture/

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.  Any comments
or suggestions are appreciated.

Michelle

BTW: This lecture just won an award from Learning in Motion
for being one of the top ten educational sites on the WW.
