Disk Drives

Disk Drives

I am in computers… that’s my answer when asked about my job(s)… and to say it… it’s the truth I joined IBM in 1962 and I’ve been in that business ever since…

Computers can be divided in three parts… the processor and memory… the storage device or disk drive… and the software…
The processor and memory are the engines that runs the computer… and are built into computer chips…
The disk drives are the note pads you take your notes on…
The software is the language that gives the instructions to the processor…

I was in the note pad business… i.e. disk drives…
