What time frame did you work there?

I enjoy reading about the Mercury missions and the work IBM did in that era. There must have been a lot of smart people there then.

There's also a (recent?) book about IBM's work with the Nazis during WWII that has gotten some press lately. Has anyone read it?

They had similar contributions to apartheid, too.
