Hi there.
I'm Lothar Fritsch, student of computer science at Saabruecken, Germany.
What i need is the following:

I join a seminar that is titled 'The history of computer science'. It is
intended that students of the lower grades should do some literature work
about several points of computer science, eg Charles Babbage and his
calculation machine, The life and work of Allen Turing and so on.
One point I need information about is 'The history of IBM'. Is there any
literature or some persons involved with that I could talk to?

An other topic is 'Steven Jobs / The idea behind the personal computer'.
We found almost no literature for this one. There is great interest to
mail/meet people like Jobs, Wozniak, Draper and others that saw the early
times of personal or home computers.
Any hint for literature would be extremely useful.

Thanks for any comment thrown in here.

Lothar Fritsch
