Datapoint was a manufacturer of computers and computer equipment. Being a rare person with talents in hardware as well as software, I was in charge of the diagnostic software group with seven reports at a very young age. I was involved in the development of the ARCNET product and several other innovative computer products in the days before micro-processors.
