Hi, I am Ron Hawkins. I am a former technical
editor for
Midrange Computing magazine. I am the the head of Research &
Development at Computer Processing Unlimited, Inc., in San Diego, California. My association with the magazine began in 1983, when the magazine was a small technical newsletter named
DataNetwork. My career in software dates back to the late 1970s. Together with Doug Pence, I have designed dozens of systems and have had the privilege of working on every IBM midrange system from the System/3
to the AS/400. We have worked together off and on since 1979, and currently share the research and development duties at Computer Processing Unlimited, Inc.
