Text timesharers: sitting ducks for hungry dogs

Abstract

My concern this month is with the US timesharing companies — the organizations which brought databases to life and whose principal business is the delivery of information in ASCII to customers. I cannot consider this narrow and specialized class of timesharing companies in a vacuum. It will be more useful to examine their business against the fabric of American business, and then against three interesting, but not‐so‐recent, PC hardware and software engineering applications.
