== Ken Olsen's MIT Degrees ==
You claimed that Olsen had EECS (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) degrees from MIT. First of all, there were no degree programs in CS anywhere in 1950 when he earned his Bachelor_of_Science degree, and secondly this states clearly that his degrees were in EE.--Rogerd 22:21, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
:I stand corrected. I am '''very''' surprised that '''any school, anywhere''', would have offered a degree in CS as early as 1950. I know someone who got a degree in mathematics in 1956 (not from MIT), and in the 1980's, when turned down for a job because he didn't have a degree in CS, asked the company that turned him down: "Where in the heck would I have gotten a degree in computer science in 1956?".
