Event, March 18: Celebrating 50 Years of Computing at Carolina

First, thanks again for your help with the website: http://www.ibiblio.org/comphist/
I recently made more improvements. I've now got "Role(s) in computing at UNC:" and "What are you doing now?" in the registration form, and I changed the left menu item from "User list" to "Personal bios" -- I'm getting a little better with Views.

Here's the info about the March 18 celebration:

In 1959, the UNC Computation Center began operating with a Univac 1105
computer. In March 1960, Bill Friday presided over dedicating the
Computation Center.

We've come a long way since then! You can take advantage of an
opportunity to look back and look forward this spring when Chancellor
Thorp, Bill Friday, and other special guests will help celebrate 50
years of computing on campus.

The event, sponsored by ITS, Computer Science, and the School of
Information and Library Science, will take place in the Nelson Mandela
Auditorium at the FedEx Global Education Center.

Thursday March 18
2:00-3:15PM

Please share this information with others on- and off-campus.
