I'll never forget when I met her! She was doing her thing at a conference, then she started to talk about computers and this measurement of time that IBM was calling a nano second... When she exaplained it to the audience she said that she went to her engineers and told them to come up with a representation of what a nano second was... As she explained, it took the engineers some time to come up with the answer that she presented us with... It was a copper wire about 12 inches in length and the engineers explained that electricity would pass from one end to the other in a nano second... She handed each and every member of the audience a physical representation of a nano second, then she went on to explain, now that you can see it and know what it means, it's not such a big deal, is it?
Everyone in the audience laughed and applauded her!!! An amazing lady!!! On Monday, December 9, 2013, Ed Finnell wrote: > Hit <enter>!
