Advance Praise for Exploding the Computer Myth "Exploding the Computer Myth looks to me to be the most important business computer book of the decade. Glenn Weadock sifts through the mountains of computer hype and promise to find you the hard kernels of truth. If you use computers in your work -- and who doesn"t these days!--then this volume will help you get the most out of your current computer and prepare you for the next step into the future." --Jerry Pournelle Senior Editor of Byte Magazine "On Glenn Weadock"s book, Exploding the Computer Myth, I"m sure there are dozens, if not hundreds, of corporate executives who are just like myself. I worry about the fact that we wouldn"t invest money in a machine on the planet that I see unused 75 percent of the time I walk by, and yet we do this daily with computers. The fact that someone who has been deeply involved in the "Information Systems" industry now tells us that computer productivity improvements should be measured and should be evaluated to justify new computer investments, in itself will provide support for changing the way we look at it. I must admit, however, that Glenn still leaves us with a major challenge--that it is necessary for top management to be involved with computer technology for the right moves to be made. Fortunately, his book starts the process." --Ludvik F. Koci President, Detroit Diesel Corporation
