Dead at 92, Business Computing Pioneer David Caminer
Brooklyn Bob points out this "fascinating obituary of David Caminer, the first systems analyst. The tea company he worked for developed their own hardware and software — in 1951! Quoting New Scientist: 'In today's terms it would be like hearing that Pizza Hut had developed a new generation of microprocessor, or McDonald's had invented the Internet.'" http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?f.../06/29/1951236
