History Newsletter |
The Unisys History Newsletter is written and published by
George Gray. George works within IBM as a State of Georgia customer liaison and is still involved in Unite Inc., a Unisys User Group. He began his work on the Unisys History Newsletter as a hobby and privately published his first six newsletters. Subsequently, he wrote a regular computer history column in UniSphere magazine. There are a number of articles from that period of time (1994-1998) that are not available due to copyright issues. In 2008, George and Ronald Q. Smith published a book entitled A History of Unisys Computers. Fortunately, George continues to research computer history and publish facinating articles for us to enjoy.
