About This Issue

Since this is our first issue, I believe it is appropriate to include here some thoughts about the Anna& in general, as well as comments on this issue in particular. If there is any one attribute that has been especially noteworthy in the genesis of the Annuls, it is enthusiasm. Computing pioneers look enthusiastically to this journal not only with nostalgia, but with a sense of having made important contributions to knowledge, to science, and to the quality of life, and of wanting this contribution to be recorded and appreciated.
