I love her sense of humor! One story she tells is about the world’s first computer bug [1], I had never heard it nor the history of the word.

She also mentions they were using computers to enhance satellite photos, it took 3 days to process but they could determine the height of waves in the middle of the pacific and the temperature 20 feet below the surface.
