[TriLUG] Event: Celebrating 50 Years of Computing at Carolina

[Judy Hallman]

I think some Internetworkers and TriLUGers might be interested in this 
event.

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.

Information and Library Science, will take place in the Nelson Mandela
Auditorium at the FedEx Global Education Center.
